Following casino etiquette is vital to having a great time gambling for you and for other players. The point is to show respect and consideration for each other so everybody can focus on their favorite casino games and hit the jackpot. Here are some etiquette rules to keep in mind while at the casino:

• Nobody likes a backseat driver. Even if you have good intentions, players do not appreciate getting unsolicited advice while making bets on their casino game of choice. All gamblers are entitled to the right to make their own decisions, win or lose.
• Respect the no smoking rules in non-smoking designated areas. Nonsmokers have the right to gamble in a smoke free environment. By lighting in these areas is to invite the wrath of these patrons and the casino staff.
• All the seats at betting tables are reserved strictly for players. Dealers are instructed to ask non-participants to give up their seats.
• Once you have made your bet, do not touch the bet until you get paid.
• Do not abuse the dealer. You may be losing some rounds consecutively due to a bad run. It’s not the dealer’s fault and could be attributed to poor decisions made on your part.
• When playing slot machines or video poker games, just play one machine during the busy periods. Playing more than one machine does not bolster your odds of winning. Furthermore, other patrons have the right to play also.
• If you want to take a short break and still reserve your spot at the tables or the machines, it’s acceptable. You might need a bathroom break or just stretch your legs. However, if you are going to play another game or go to lunch, give up your spot.
• In roulette, money is exchanged for chips. Color coded chips are not permitted to be combined with your playing partner’s chips.
• If you are the shooter in a game of craps, the dices must hit the back wall of the table to assure random rolls.
• Do not attempt to give cash to the dealer to make change. The dealer is not permitted to accept cash or chips directly from the patron.
• You had a good betting run and managed to keep your winnings, it is customary to show your appreciation by tipping the courteous and gracious dealer. A significant part of the dealers’ earnings come in the form of gratuities of casino clients.
