For a first-time visitor, walking onto a massive, bustling casino floor can be an incredibly intimidating experience.
+
Unlike a restaurant or a bar, there are dozens of unwritten rules governing how you should interact with the dealers and other players.

+
Furthermore, once you have your chips and you place a bet inside the betting circle, you must never touch them again.
+
If you win a hand, wait patiently for the dealer to place your winnings next to your original bet.
+Interacting with the Dealer and Tipping +
The dealer is the host of your game, and treating them with respect is the absolute most important rule of etiquette.

Always remain polite and professional, regardless of whether the cards are falling in your favor or wiping out your bankroll.
