One of the many talents of dealers is concealing their “tells” when a player is being a nimrod.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNguyen continues, “Another pet peeve is when a player tells us we’ll get tipped at the end [of the session] and leaves a dollar or less when all is said and done. A dollar or less is sort of like a slap in the face. And while we’re talking about tipping, don’t stiff the cocktail waitress, either.”<\/p>\n
We can’t say it enough. If you can’t afford to tip, do something other than play casino table games. Slot machines might be your thing. No tipping required.<\/p>\n
1. Good Vibes Only, Please<\/strong><\/p>\nPlaying in a Las Vegas casino is meant to be fun, so avoid being a buzzkill.<\/p>\n
“Remember, there are other people at the table, too,” says Nguyen. “No one wants to be next to the person who constantly complains, demands the cocktail waitress bring a drink immediately, and so on. We understand when a person’s trip or gambling session may not be working out, but the next hand or spin may be different. Keeping an upbeat attitude and staying positive could possibly change a person’s luck.”<\/p>\n
Absolutely nailed it. The Golden Rule applies to casinos as it does to everday life.<\/p>\n
In a casino, be the kind of person you’d like to hang out with. Keep the mood light, be polite and don’t lose sight of the fact if gambling isn’t fun, why the hell are you doing it?<\/p>\n
