Gambling is generally always played with a mixture of drinks and cigarettes. It is very rare that you will find a player at a table without a drink or a smoke in his mouth or something to eat. Casino craps is once such game. However because of the nature of the game you will find that there is often no space for a payer to do anything but just stand and play especially on a night that is full. Like all other games casino craps too has a set of basic etiquette that you need to observe as a player. These set norms are not so much the rules of the game as they are things that you should and shouldn’t do to make sure that everyone at the table has a pleasant experience playing. Here are some of them:
Place wagers neatly and gently
The ideal way for you to stage your wager in a game of casino craps is to put down the wager on the table neatly and gently and stage the amount. Tossing or throwing your wager at the dealer or the stickman will not go down very well with them and things could get unpleasant for you. You need to also take into account the fact that if you toss your wager onto the table the dealer is going to have to waste time gathering it and that is something that he or she will not take to kindly.
Do not fiddle with or throw the dice
Another very common mistake that people generally tend to make when it is their turn at a game of casino craps is that they tend to fiddle with the dice a bit too much. While no one expects you to toss the dice as soon as you pick it up in our hand you are expected to toss the dice within an acceptable amount of time. Fiddling with the dice, blowing on it etc, to make it lucky is not looked upon very kindly. When you do finally let go of the dice you need to make sure that you toss it gently across the table and not throw it. If thrown, besides the dice not landing on the table, there is a good chance that you might hurt someone.
No late bets
Late bets can be very annoying for the dealer as well as the other players in a game of casino craps. You need to make sure that you always place your bet well before the shooter has been handed the dice. Late bets interrupt the momentum of the game as well as hold it up causing unnecessary and annoying delays.
Keep food and ash off the table
The casino craps table is not a tray and it is most certainly not an ash tray. You need to ensure that all your cigarettes, cigars, food and drinks are kept away from the table. Spilling any of these onto the table will not only damage it but could also lead to you being fined or asked to leave the casino all together.
