Question by Barbarella: Casino advice for a beginner going to Vegas!?
Ive been to casinos a few times and I went to Macau last year but I would really appreciate some tips as I went with my bf who pretty much took care of everything…. Please can someone give tips on going to casinos? i.e where to go to change money and how much are you supposed to change into chips/tokens each time (I know if depends how much you wanna play but whats the norm?)

what are the kind of rules and etiquettes when playing? I know how to play blackjack and baccarat and roulette but are there any rules i.e is it rude to stand around, how to wait ur turn etc? Also I think there are some hand signals you need to give for blackjack to signify whether you want more cards or not? Are there hand signals for every game?

Also I hear they give free drinks when you gamble…. Is that true? How do you get them? and how do they know what you want? Does some girl just come round?

Are casinos in vegas open 24/7? can you smoke inside?

Thanks for any help!
How much do I tip the waitress and the dealer? $ 1 like the buffet server and taxi driver?
Also how do I tip the dealer?? Just give it to them?? Will they think its weird?

Yes you must give hand signals in Blackjack. While playing dice, always know where the dice are, so you dont have your hand down as the dice are thrown your way. Always respect the dealer, (they are at work ya know). Just have fun, dont try to make money, just play and enjoy yourself.

U can buy chips at the tables.

Drinks are free, but make sure you tip the waitresses!

When you play at a table game, make sure to get a few $ 1 chips so you can tip the waitress AND the dealers! These people only make minimum wage and expect tips for service. You can bet the tip with your bet, or you can just give it to the dealer (ask what the perfer).

Dont forget to tip the bellman that takes your bags, $ 1 per bag.

Dont forget to tip the cab driver $ 2.

Dont forget to tip the buffet servers $ 1 per person.

As, you can tell, there are alot of people that rely on tipping. When in doubt, tip!

Question by x2862: Advice on roulette strategy?
Ok I know the house always has an advantage in roulette. However I found a system that seems to deify this when run through a simulation of 1,000,000 spins. I just wanted a second opinion before I go to any casino because I must have gotten something wrong.

I found a casino with a 4 player video roulette, one with a virtual dealer and 00 wheel. I was playing and the minimum bet was and the max was 0. My system is based on the margantale system but instead of doubling you triple your bets on a loss. what you bet on is two columns covering 24 out of 38 numbers. that’s a 63.5% chance of winning. now you may be thinking that you can only loose 4 times before your next bet is over table limit but I think if you take one column and a friend takes another column you can have more losses.
what you do is bet on the first column your friend bets on the second column if the number drawn is in the third column then both you and your friend triple the bet. so fro example ,3,5,7,9,81,243 and so on. if however either the first or second column comes in you go back to the original . Now I haven’t gotten that many losses in a row but it could happen in that case you have a third person that bets the limit on both columns and you and your partner then can add the rest. Example you loose 6 times in a row and need to bet 9 the third person bets 0 on both columns. Then the first 2 people bet 9 479+250 =729.
,3,5,7,9,81,243 and so on
should be
1,3,9,81,243 and so on
typo on my part

How is 3,5,7,9 tripling your bet?

You both bet and lose. You are down total
You both then bet , you win, you are up . Start over.
You lose twice and you are down total dollars, right?

So you each bet on the column? If you win, you’ll make , but your friend lost , and you were already down from before. You haven’t made your profit back. So there’s your first mistake.

And then in general… any system can work in the short term, but I really don’t think you found anything that wins over 1,000,000 spins. You just seemed to claim that 3,5,7,9 was tripling… so you might want to rethink your numbers.
