Let’s take each one of these questions one at a time.

Here are a few Do’s when visiting a casino.

Remember, the casino will have cameras all over the place as well as guards walking around. Do not be worried about them. They are in every casino and they are there to protect the casino and their guests. Try not to act like a newbie to the whole scene.

What do people wear at the casino?

If it is evening, you may want to wear something that is semi-formal or a little dressy. If it is daytime, you could wear something sporting or casual. Wear comfortable shoes with all your outfits. You will be doing a lot of walking in most casino.

How do people act?

Be polite to everyone in the casino. If you win or lose, you can still act politely towards other people. It is easy to get carried away. If you are losing or winning, try to keep your reactions down. Stay as calm as you can in any situation. Avoid stress by only wagering what you can afford to lose.

Can I observe people at machines or tables before I join?

People can observe players at many different game tables. They will learn how to play, and what the minimum and maximum bets are allowed. Many people do not like someone watching them at the machines for to long.

When I am ready to play, Do I have to ask to join a table game?

When a player decides on what table they would like to play, they should ask if this seat is available before sitting down. Players should also remember to take breaks so it keeps their minds fresh.

Here are a few Don’ts when visiting a casino.

You know the cameras are watching you all the time, so do not start acting silly or loud. It may just get you thrown out of the casino.

Can I sit at a table if I am not sure I want to Play?

If you are not going to play, do not sit at a table. You would be taking up a place for someone else that does want to play. Observers can stand behind someone and watch the game.

Do I give my money to the dealer directly?

Players do not hand the dealer the money. It is placed on the table so the cameras can see the amount and then the dealer will put it in the proper slot.

How much can I talk to the dealer?

It is ok to talk to the dealer a little bit with a question or two, but do not carry on a conversation with the dealer. Other players are trying to concentrate and do not want to hear your personal conversation.

Can I take my cell phone into the casino?

Cell phones are allowed in the casino but do not talk on the phone at the tables or machines. Take your conversation out to the hallway so players are not disturbed.

Remember, you will not be the only newbie in the casino. Relax and have a great time. Pay attention to what is going on around you and you will enjoy your casino time.
