For your next group outing or event, skip the stress of driving and hire a charter bus to take you someplace fun—like the casino. With drinks, food, games, and excellent company, you can bet on a memorable experience. If you’re new to casinos, you might be unsure of how to navigate them. Here are a few tips that will get you prepared to play.

How Beginners Can Have Fun at the Casino

1. Know the Game

While you’re lounging on the charter bus, ask yourself: what kind of experience do I want? If you want to challenge yourself to a game that requires skill in addition to luck, go for blackjack, video poker, craps, or baccarat. Try to play with someone who has experience with these games. If you’re in the mood to sip on the cocktails and unwind, go for slots or roulette.

2. Learn Casino Etiquette

Don’t get too upset if you lose. If you’re positive customers, waitresses might come to your table more often and dealers might offer you pointers. Make sure to tip both waitresses and dealers.

Never use your phone at a table, and don’t sit at a table if you aren’t a part of the game. If you wish to join, wait until the current hand is over. Don’t touch your bet after you’ve placed it, and don’t touch your winnings until the dealer has counted the chips and pushed them to you.

3. Set Limits

To guarantee you have fun, set limits for how much money and time you’ll spend at the casino. For both beginners and novices, it’s easy to succumb to the gambler’s fallacy, where you’ve had a streak of bad luck and think that good luck is waiting for you in the next hand or at the next table.

Alternatively, you may fall for the gambler’s conceit, meaning you think that you should see your streak of good luck through to more earnings. With limits, whether you win or lose, you’ll walk away without regrets.
