If you expect good service from your dealers, here are
some things that you SHOULD NOT DO:
DO NOT throw your wager(s) at the dealer(s). A good
player will set the wager down cleanly on the table and clearly state the wager.
Proposition bets can be set down to the dealers on BASE and then booked out of
the working stacks of the STICKMAN. (So you don’t even need to throw
proposition wagers at the stickman). Dealers do not like to spend their
shifts chasing cheques (chips) all over the table. Besides, it slows the
game down.
DO NOT fiddle around with the dice before you throw.
Setting the dice quickly is OK, but you are expected to throw the dice in a
timely manner. If you have a special or lucky “wind up” before you throw…
do it quickly as a courtesy to other players who may have serious money on the
table.
DO NOT throw the dice hard… you “Toss” the dice. Hot
shot players who roll at high speed and slam the dice AND often bounce them off
the table will not get good service from the dealers. These players
slow the game down and often offend other players, especially the superstitious
ones.
DO NOT throw the dice into the dealers working stacks or
into the mirror on the player side of the table. Again, this is something
that will only slow the game down and frustrate the dealers and the other
players. DICE ARE TO BE ROLLED DOWN THE CENTER OF THE TABLE AND MUST
BOUNCE OFF OF THE END WALL.
DO NOT use two hands. Dice must be handled with one
hand.
DO NOT conceal or take the dice behind the edge of the
table. Again you will only slow the game down and the boxman or dealers
will request the dice for inspection and issue new dice.
DO NOT overshake the dice. Everybody likes to
“shake ‘em up” but do so quickly. Besides, the dice are pre-shook at the
factory!
DO NOT dump your cigarette or cigar ashes on the table…
contrary to popular belief it IS NOT an ash tray. When rolling the dice,
keep your cocktail or beverage on the shelf that has been provided as a
convenience for you.
DON’T BE A CHRONIC COMPLAINER… This is a sure sign of a
degenerate loser who has probably spent his whole life blowing money on stupid
bets.
You will truly be amazed at how much help and
sharing of information about the game that the dealer(s) will give you if you
show some class and etiquette as a player.
