Blackjack is a gentleman’s game, so it’s best to act like a gentleman (or woman). Here are a few quick points to remember next time your on a winning streak with the cards.

Always tip the dealer when you win.

This one should be obvious but most new casino goers get too caught up in their winnings that they fail to reward the dealer with a nominal tip. It is not necessary, but it is something that is respectful and common etiquette for most seasoned vets.

Don’t order food or drinks when it’s your turn to bet.

Another one that should be apparent, but many newcomers have trouble learning this easy rule. When the players are waiting for you to place your bet or call, it is considered very rude to place an order because you are forcing them to wait on you. This can cause animosity at the table and breed bad blood. It also brings a negative vibe to the table if you do it excessively. So be polite and wait til your turn passes before you order. Thanks for your cooperation.

Don’t be a “negative nelly”.

Nobody likes to be around a whiner, so don’t make a big fuss when you lose a hand. This is another common rookie pitfall. When you take a bad beat against the dealer, avoid complaining loudly. The players at the table are there to enjoy themselves, when your sitting there crying about your cards– it ruins the mood. The players feed off of each others positive (or negative) energy at the table. So don’t be a “negative nelly” and ruin the fun for everybody. Everybody hates a sore loser. Next time, try smiling and treat your loss as a valuable lesson that you can learn from. You will play a better game and have a more enjoyable experience!
