Casino Taboos
You’ll probably get away with most of these casino “taboos”, but that doesn’t mean you should. A casino environment posts very few social regulations, however, that doesn’t mean you want to go solo and be a jerk. For those gamblers who need to see it in print, here’s what you should do:
1 If You’re Winning… Tip the Dealer. Those hard-working pit employees usually only make minimum wage from the casino- and the rest comes from your tips. There is no set amount you should tip, because that would vary from session to session, place to place. Let’s just say that a tip of 5 to 15% is not out of bounds. But if you’re one of these people who try to get even from a losing session 3 years ago by short-changing dealer tips… As my dog, Remy, would say... “Grrrrr.”
2 Smile Once In Awhile. I know you’re losing. Welcome to the club. But why let that fact keep you from having a good time? There are plenty of great people working in a casino, so treat them with respect and smile once in awhile. I remember a woman who worked the cashier’s cage at The Beau Rivage in Biloxi, MS. While cashing a few dollars, I struck up a friendly conversation with her. It became the high point of my trip. This lady was such a treat! (Thanks, Chris!) I wiped the scowl off my face and tried to communicate, and surprise, you would be amazed how that was appreciated on her side, too.
3 Take The Dealer’s Advice. How many times have I seen people playing BJ: ask the dealer for advice; then go the other way and do the exact opposite? If you remember that a dealer makes a living on YOUR TIPS, you’ll be less inclined to think he is trying to give you the bum steer. You asked… so pay attention and do what he/she tells you.
