Some Points to Remember at Land Based Table Games

• Don't play for more than an hour in anyone casino.

• Don't jump your bets; instead, wait until your bet wins and then let it ride if the count is plus.

• Don't move your lips while you count.

• Don't move your head while following the cards as they are being dealt. Be sure to sit in a seat that gives you a direct visual perspective of the entire tabletop.

• Never leave the betting square in front of you empty. Always have a bet in the square. At the start of a new shoe, don't always bet your minimum amount.

• Don't hold up the game in any way.

• Dress and act like the other players.

• Try not to be the biggest bettor at the table.

• Don't attract attention in any way.

• Tip the dealer by placing a wager for him.

• Don't vary the size of your wager when a pit boss is watching.

• Be alert when the pit bosses are nowhere in sight. Remember, the eye in the sky is always watching.

• Don't talk at the table unless necessary; when you speak, be brief and polite.

• Smile! Don't look glum or serious while playing, or else you may alert management.

• Don't drink alcohol while you play, but do have some kind of drink in front of you.

• Play with a companion of the opposite sex (it looks natural), but teach him or her basic strategy first.
