Casinos aren’t all Bad

by Zeeman Haus

Everyone loves a trip to the casino; usually it’s the trip back that leaves some of us wondering how we’re going to pay the gas bill on Monday. Still though, knowing a few things about the casino will help you get along a little better. Yup, some etiquette will no doubt come in handy.

Looking cool while you lose lots of money is second only to looking cool while you win lots of money. Sometimes Lady Luck doesn’t give us a choice on winning or losing, but we all have the chance to look cool every time. A few etiquette rules will definitely help out.

The tables are the most interesting aspect and usually where people end up in the most trouble. The card tables offer several different types of games. If you are unfamiliar with a game, standing by and watching is allowed. Sitting down to watch is not. No one is going to rap your knuckles with a ruler, but you will be asked to place a bet or vacate the seat. This is probably the biggest breach of etiquette.
