Live Casino Do’s and Don’ts

While you may come across some major differences between playing casino games at a land-based casino, online and live, all options pretty much come with many of the same do’s and don’ts. Some differ, however, because each platform gives you a unique environment, even though the same end game of winning huge amounts of real money is the goal. Whichever platform you prefer to enjoy your casino games on will have plenty of information telling you what is expected, and what you simply should not do. Land-based casinos offer you a social atmosphere, where a lot of consideration for everyone present must be adhered. Playing online gives you the solitude and comfort, where there are a lot fewer considerations for others, as you pretty much play alone. Live casino games are a mix of both. While they give you all of the advantages of playing online, you have a fun, authentic atmosphere and social contact with a real-life dealer and actual people through video streams and live chat features. If you want to play live casino games in a fun-filled environment, where everyone who is present is on the same page and respectful of each other, then consider the major do’s and don’ts of this exciting platform.

The Do's

At a land-based casino, it is customary to tip the dealers. Playing live online makes it quite difficult, so the next best thing is to be very appreciative, kind and respectful to the dealer at all times. They oversee your game and provide you with a fair chance, so thank them for their work. Communicating with the other players through group chat features is allowed, but it is advisable to consider each player. Be polite and be friendly. All players are there for the same reasons as you, and even if one wins a hand you were hoping to, there’s no need to be bitter. Congratulate them and try your luck for the next round. Learn the game before playing at a live casino. Online casinos, and many other sites, provide information about how casino games are played and you will even come across free options where you can practice them. Knowing a game will keep the pace flowing and prevent you from having to bother the dealer, or other players, with any unnecessary questions. It is most important to ensure you always have fun. Focus is key to winning many casino games, but a happy head is a clear head, and that will help you stay in the game. If you treat your game like a fun activity and don’t feel let down when wins don’t occur, you will be smiling all the more, even when small, but profitable, wins do occur.

The Don’ts

Never drink too much when playing live casino games, because alcohol tends to cloud the head and will make your game play riskier. Even if you are at home, the risk of becoming angered, obnoxious or argumentative is real, because you have access to communicate with other players. You may feel more let down by losses too, so stick to a healthy dose of drinking and make sure enjoyment is your goal. How you handle a loss is imperative to good communication. Do not blame the dealer or act out against another player who wins. When you play at a reputable casino, complete fairness is a guarantee and the dealer is not to blame. Sometimes you just lose. The same goes for bragging about any wins. Consider how another player feels having lost. Cheating is a big ‘no-no’. English is the chat feature’s default language, and if you happen to speak to another player in any other language, it may be cheating. It is much the same for discussing anything about the game at hand. Don’t talk about your hand or ask what another player holds. Don’t discuss a previous hand either. Rather keep chatter to random fun topics, but if a player prefers not to talk then respect their privacy. Even though it is advised to learn the game before playing, you should never be too afraid to ask for help. It is, after all, a major role of the dealer’s. Constant inability to play a game, which is a rare case indeed, will require you to learn it a little bit better, but any instance can occur where you may need to ask for advice. This you must do. You are risking real money on a highly enjoyable activity, but if you become too scared to ask for help, you may miss some valuable information that could lead to a greater success for you.
