VIP Casino Table Etiquette

Wherever you decide to take your casino gaming, be it gambling at a riverboat casino while on a cruise, a Tropicana casino, or a casino hotel, there are some simple rules of etiquette that will ensure you come off as, and are treated like, a VIP. Some of the rules also apply, in some fashion, to online casino play too.

Before you sit down to play blackjack, poker, or other casino games, find out about the table you will be playing at. If it is a high limit table, make sure you can afford to play there before you sit down. If you aren’t sure of the limits, just ask – the dealer will be happy to advise you.

Also, before you join a game, make sure that there is a space for you at the table. In some games, casino blackjack especially, it is common for a player to play multiple hands at once, so an empty seat does not always equate to an empty place.

One thing that many people overlook is buying-in to a casino game. You must use chips. Attempting to hand dealer cash is very bad form. Also, never hand money directly to a dealer – even when you are offering a tip, place the chips on the table, and direct the dealer to pick it up.

Finally, remember to play sensibly, and to try not to play while drunk, or tired. This is more for your own enjoyment, but also for the enjoyment of those around you too. A drunk at a table can be distracting and annoying.

Whether you are playing online, or at a casino hotel, remember to have fun with your casino gaming. Set yourself reasonable limits, whether you are playing casino slots or high stakes poker, and stick to those limits. Do not try to chase loses, and if you are winning, be sure you don’t get too carried away. Treat your casino gambling like any other hobby, and make sure that the fun comes first. If you follow these rules, you will feel like a VIP whenever you gamble casino, be it online, or as part of a luxury holiday, and others will get the VIP feeling from you too.
