Player Etiquette And It’s Effect On Winning.

by | Feb 24, 2024

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.
