Or, things to be aware of when you walk into a casino. These are things I've learned from my experience over the last year and a half working in a casino.
1) Take only the money you can afford to lose. Don't be like some people who lose every scrap of cash they have, then go play the "game anyone can win" (the ATM
) and lose all of THAT money as well.
2) Do not continue to sit on a table with a hot dealer. If a dealer has taken more than 75% of the money you brought to the table, then your best option is to get up and move elsewhere, because your luck at that table, or the dealer's luck, is going to lose you the rest of your money.
3) Do not complain about the casino being cold if you are wearing a t-shirt, fancy shirt that leaves half your bck exposed, or a sleeveless dress.
4) Yes, you've hit a blackjack. Yes, you win 3:2 on your bet. No, you are not allowed to scream like you just won the lottery because you won $7.50 on your $5 bet. Sit down and shut up.
5) Do not insult your dealer if things are not running your way. It isn't his fault. Do not curse at him, whine, stamp your feet, or in general act like a 3 year old who didn't get his favorite candy when you lose EVERY HAND. Yes, I've seen a grown man stomp like a baby when he loses. It's not pretty.
6) Slots players: Don't get up and leave money in your machine when you go to the bathroom. It takes 4 seconds for someone to walk by the machine, turn the chair, hit cash out, and walk away with your money. Hit the cash out, and take the ticket with you.
7) Table Games players: don't leave your chips on the table when you go to the bathroom. Someone could snatch them when the dealer isn't looking.
8) Tipping is mandatory. The servers get paid a pittance, and depend on tips to make their nights. Tipping your dealer is also necessary, as we are spending our time entertaining you, we're trained professionals, and we make our wages mostly off of tips.
9) If asked to show your ID... show the damn ID. Don't argue with first the floor supervisor, and then the security guard, when they ask for your ID because you have a young-looking face. You WILL be escorted out.
10) Do not leave a table with a handfulls of lower-value chips. Odds are, the dealer will need those later. So trade them up for higher chips, and make the lives of both your dealer and his supervisor earlier.
11) No, I cannot give you a high five on the game, I am not allowed to have any kind of physical contact with you while I am on the game. Why? Look down. See that $75,000 of chips in my rack? That's why. They want to make sure I'm not giving you some of it illicitly.
12) Don't buy in for a huge amount, and them put half of it in your pocket. We know how much you have, you're not fooling anyone when you do that. Just because we can't see it...
13) If you're the last person on a table, and you see other tables around you getting shut down... be graceful, and go elsewhere, else the dealer will take every penny you have until you leave. No, we don't know how we do it, but it happens.
14) Don't accuse the dealer of stacking the deck. We HATE that.
I'm sure I'll think of more later, anyone who wants feel free to add to this list.
