If you don’t know this from experience, casinos are a serious business and are controlled carefully at every move that is made on the floor.
An example that describes how strict casino authorities can get when playing craps is if you use both your hands to roll the dice. It’s a no-no that will not only put you in the bad books of the pit boss but will also cause veteran players to treat you disdainfully.
It must be said that over the years a series of uncommon rules in regard to etiquette that have pervaded the modern gambling establishment – rules that would seem bizarre anywhere else. What you say, how you act and what gestures you make are all watched constantly.
Take a few minutes to watch a blackjack game to understand these unique rules that are part of the etiquette that is adhered to in today’s casinos.
Since there is no manual to keep you informed as to the etiquette that is acceptable or not in a casino, most rookies usually learn these rules the hard way – by making mistakes every now and then.
To be honest, it’s almost impossible to not make mistakes especially if you’ve never been to a casino before even if it mean going through with simple procedures such as placing your bets or even buying your chips.
But that’s not all –casino personnel and cameras are constantly watching every customer in the casino closely, and you can be under scrutiny if you’ve slipped up.
However, if it makes you feel any better, even the most experienced players also tend to make mistakes in more complicated games on a regular basis.
Moreover, you can get away with most of these infractions with a minor slap on the wrist but there are those, like playing out of turn in poker that can cost you a good amount of money as well.
