Guide to Roulette Etiquette

Basic Rules for Roulette Fans

Let's highlight the major things. 

• First of all, remember the basic rules of decent behavior. Rudeness at the table is not excused. Managers of reputable clubs do not allow such manners, even from high rollers.
• It is prohibited to eat and drink at the roulette table. The cocktails spilled on the cloth, sauce stains, and bread crumbs do not contribute to a pleasant pastime.
• Putting big bags and other bulky items on the table is not allowed. They bother other players and the dealer. Moreover, it is a safety rule (who knows what is inside the bag).
• Managers usually disapprove of using electronic devices at the table, although modern realities make casinos more tolerable for smartphones, tablets, and other gadgets.
• The dress code nowadays is not as severe as it used to be, but remember that you are going to a casino, not fishing or hunting.
• You may sit at the table only at the sites provided for customers.

Gameplay Rules for Roulette Players

Let's discuss what you may or may not do during the gameplay.

• You should find out whether you may use valuable chips in this club. You may need to exchange them for tokens.
• During gameplay, follow the dealer's actions. Do not rush to place bets until you are invited, and don't toss chips on the table when the dealer has already stopped accepting bets.
• After the dealer has placed a dolly (marker) on a winning number, touching the chips on the table is strictly prohibited.
• Do not throw your chips on the cloth while placing bets. Place them carefully to avoid bothering other players.
• Remember that some types of bets are traditionally made via the dealer. They are called announced bets.
• The dealer is not obliged to accept all announced bets, although they always try to. If there are too many players and they all intend to place bets on neighbors or sectors, the croupier will not have enough time to serve all customers. In such cases, you should be indulgent or move to a less crowded table.
• Warn the dealer that you want to make any manipulations with chips that require the croupier's actions. Do not expect them to exchange valuable chips for colored ones during the spin.
• Although betting systems do not help the client win while playing roulette, some casinos treat them with prejudice. Therefore, we recommend that you do not display that you are following a certain strategy.

Interaction with Dealers and Gamblers

Below, we will explain how you should deal with the staff and players.

• You should ask the pit boss how to tip the staff. It is not encouraged at all in some clubs, while in others, it is considered impolite if you don't tip the dealer. However, it is up to you to decide.
• Do not bother other players with advice, even if you think the neighbor is totally wrong. Generally, it is recommended to be very careful with advice at casinos, even if asked for it. Do you want to be blamed for somebody's losses?
• If the neighboring player is going to leave and you want to take his place, ask whether they will return soon.
• It is usually not forbidden to talk to the dealers, but they may be too busy at the roulette table to converse with you. You should not be offended because of this.

Conclusion

If you follow the hints mentioned above, it is unlikely that managers or gamblers would have any claims. Feel free to seek advice from the pit boss if any questions arise.

Remember that decent behavior and politeness help create a pleasant atmosphere that will allow customers to enjoy the gameplay.
