Gaming Tips : Casino gambling & Playing Etiquette

Suitable playing etiquette counts in casino gambling and everyone should know this. Simply having knowledge on the game rules is not enough so the playing session can be as agreeable as possible for everyone present at the table or in the casino.

For that, here are outlined some tips for roulette and craps players.

Craps players are known as superstitious and being at the table and not respecting their beliefs its not nice and its not in the book of players etiquette. So, for example even if you saw in movies people shouting the number 7 or even utter its name, you should not do this.

It’s true that 7 is a winning number on the come out roll but superstitious and experienced players believe that the number 7 causes too much damage in the course of the game. A player who wants to respect the etiquette should always call the 7 “red” or “big red”.

Another important thing to know is to NEVER touch the layout when the stickman gives the dice to the shooter. The dealer caution players about this with the warning “hands high”. Most of these rules are about common sense and the superstitions of the players, so in case the dice will hit your arm get ready to accept some evil eyes.

Don’t occupy more space than you need at the table. The table is already usually crowded enough, so for sure you’ll get evil eyes for this also.

Abstain from spontaneously placing chips on the layout and giving betting instructions to the dealer chaotically. Dealers take information from players in order, just as they pay the players in order.

Keep in mind to tip polite and efficient dealers. The most common way known for tipping a dealer is to make a hard-way bet for them. For instance, toss in your chips to the stickman and say "give me a two-way." The stickman will then know one chip is for you and the other one for crew

In a roulette game keep in mind to never pick up winning chips from the layout or start to make wagers until the dealer has settled all winning bets and has picked up and removed the marker from the previous winning number.

Don't take roulette chips away from the table or tip cocktail waitresses with them. They have value only at the game. When you're ready to leave the table, ask the dealers to "color" (convert) them into negotiable casino chips.

The tables are crowded most of the time, so show courtesy to your fellow players when placing your wagers. Don’t need to haste, make your moves in turn. The dealers are experienced with the rhythm of the game and they know when the time to drop the ball is.

The same as at a craps table you should not hog space. Keep your chips in front of you and your elbows off the table so there will be enough room for everyone who wants to play.

To tip a dealer is a nice and common thing to do especially when you won a straight up bet. One way to make a roulette dealer happier is to ask what’s his/her lucky number and place a bet for them on that number.
