It was a Friday night. Rebecca found a play-for-money Blackjack table at the casino. Having played free casino games before, she did not realize that she had to put her money on the Blackjack table to convert it into chips. When she saw another player do it, she followed suit. When there was no response, she demanded, “Where are my chips?” Now, any Blackjack player knows that the dealer will not change your money until the current round is complete. But she had not learnt this at the free casino games.

She called out to the waitress for a drink and earned a nasty look from the dealer. Players normally request the dealer to summon the waitress. Reaching for her drink, she splashed it on the Blackjack table. Obviously, playing at free casino games had not taught her Blackjack decorum.

She started playing, placed her bet and told other players of her winnings at the free casino games. Whistling, she fiddled with her chips as she often did at the free casino games. Immediately, the floor worker sidled up to her and said, “You cannot do that.” Meddling with chips is suspect and talking aloud is bad etiquette in both money and free casino games.

Upset, Rebecca drew her hand into her lap and was ticked off for hiding her cards. Sacrificing her wager, she left praising the relaxed approach in free casino games. Blackjack propriety should be followed even at the free casino games…but not all players of free casino games do.

Blackjack –be it at the paid or free casino games table– even has a signaling etiquette that differs for face- down and face-up games.

In face- down Blackjack, you scrape the table lightly with you cards towards yourself to ‘hit.’ But in face-up Blackjack you point an index finger to your card.

In face-down, you ‘stand’ by sliding the cards under the chips in the betting box. In face-up Blackjack you wave your hand parallel to the table, palm down.

The dealer turns your card over before you opt for double or split in face-up Blackjack, whereas you do it yourself in face-down Blackjack.

These rules apply to free casino games, but players of free casino games tend to ignore them.
If you win a lot, tip the dealer by placing a bet on his behalf. Betcha, you’ll never learn this at free casino games!
