Online Casino Etiquette
Players can defuse potentially difficult situations
by remembering that while casinos are there
for your entertainment, they're not there
solely for you. Follow a few simple rules
of etiquette so all can enjoy their trips
to the casinos:
1) At slot machines or video poker games,
limit yourself to one machine at a time
during busy periods. Even when it's not
busy overall, limit yourself to one machine
when a bank of popular machines fills
up. It does not improve your odds to play
more than one machine at a time. Give
someone else a chance to play.
2) Whether at the tables or at the slots,
if you are taking a break, make it short
or give up your spot. Taking a bathroom
break or taking a walk to stretch your
legs for a few minutes is fine. Signal
that you'll be returning by turning a
coin cup upside down on the machine or
chair, leaning the chair up against the
machine or leaving your coat or sweater
draped over the chair. But if you're going
to lunch or to play another game, free
up your spot. If you're going to be gone
for more than a few minutes, it's not
fair to other players or to the casino
to tie up the game.
3) If you're smoking while playing video
poker or the slots, use an ashtray. If
there's not one at the machine, ask an
attendant to bring one to you. Do not
use the coin well to drop your ashes or
butts. Players who follow you have a right
to reach in for their coins without getting
your ashes all over their hands.
