Six Things You Should Never Do at a Casino
If you're a regular at casinos or
are planning your first trip, check out this list of the top six things
you should never do at an offline casino. I never thought gambling could
be so fun. The first time I ever went to a casino, the whole thing seemed
a little intimidating. But, I soon found the thrill. I’m by no means a
gambling addict, but I have come to love the “sport” and I’ve learn a bit
about playing in a Casino along the way. Read on for a list of the top
ten things you should never do at an offline casino:
1. Don’t ever believe the drinks
are free. First, you’re dropping probably 20-50 bucks in the time you wait
for the waitress to return. Then add her tip, usually a dollar, or she
won’t be returning to see if you need a refill any time soon.
2. Don’t listen to the dealer in
most cases unless he precedes his statement with “house rules”. House rules
are the rules the casino has to play by (such as you should never split
Kings in blackjack) and they’ve spent thousands of dollars deciding what
gives them the best edge. So, a house rule is usually a good one. But,
dealers are trained to make you have fun and have a good time – and to
make sure you keep spending money. They may offer you “friendly advice”
– but before you take any of it, ask them what the “house” would do in
the same situation. Better yet, look up strategies on games like blackjack
and roulette before going (You'll find a great interactive one here for
online
blackjack).
3. If you’re a woman, never carry
a purse. Nothing brings a fanny pack back in style faster than sitting
in front of a slot machine looking for somewhere to stick your purse.
4. Don’t stick around at a cold craps
table. Call it superstition, call it whatever you like, but I’ve tried
various craps strategies and the only sure fire thing I’ve seen happen
every time I’ve played is that when the table goes “cold” (a term used
to mean it starts losing a lot), it stays cold. If a craps table has a
hot run and a few sevens in a row come out afterwards, pick up your chips
and find a new table or grab some lunch.
5. Don’t play without your player’s
card. Remember that almost all Casino’s have players cards which keep track
of how much you gamble. A variation of things such as money spent per hand,
time spent gambling throughout a day, etc. contribute to gaining points,
but even smaller gamblers can usually score a “free” lunch after a weekend
of gambling (see #1).
6. Don’t play if you’ve been drinking.
By far, some of the biggest losses I’ve seen (and incurred myself) were
after the player had downed a few drinks. Granted, the casinos aren’t supposed
to allow obviously intoxicated customers play – but your definition or
drunk and they’re definition of “obviously intoxicated” may not be the
same. Gambling is like any other sport – best done when sober, possibly
dangerous when not. Jeff Albert is an avid gambler and contrubting writer
