Slot Machine Etiquette
Slot machine etiquette? This might sound strange to you at first since the idea is that you play slot machines on your own without having to interact with any other player. But, yes, there is some etiquette that must be observed when playing slot machines. These might be very little things that may be overlooked by anyone but they are necessary nevertheless.
Let's say you walk in through the casino doors and head straight to the slot machines. The very first piece of action we get is choosing the right slot machine to play on, right? Well, in the course of selecting our would be slot machine, we will see a slot machine that still has a coin cup on it or perhaps on the handle.
That doesn't mean somebody just forgot to bring it with them, it simply means that there is still someone using that particular slot machine. That other player could have just ran off to the bathroom or grabbed some change or something. In any case, you should respect that person's playing time and just look for another slot machine to play on.
Sometimes other players would leave a jacket or some personal object on the chair just so other players would know someone is still using that slot machine.
Are you the type who wants to play slot machines really fast and play on several machines all at the same time? That is perfectly fine, no trouble with that when playing slot machines. The only caution is that when the place gets crowded it will be deemed rude to play on more than one machine when there are lots of people who came to play too.
There are casinos that would restrict players from playing more than one slot machine when the crowds come in. Often they would put up signs where casino players can see. The rule here is to keep a slot machine free for others when more people come to play.
It may be a manner of controversy, but if you're a smoker, just remember to posiiton your ash tray or your cigarette so that the smoke doesn't annoy other players. There are casinos that allow smoking and there are casinos that don't allow it in certain areas, so better check it out first.
Now, if you do make that well-desired jackpot a question that comes to mind will be tipping. There'll be times when a casino attendant will have to hand pay you the jackpot you just won. If you are really pleased with the service, then why not give the attendant a tip. Remember that this is a matter of personal choice though.
Like any other casino game out there, when you play slot machines you also have some rules of etiquette that you are expected to follow. The etiquette covered here will serve as a guide to you next time you play on slot machines.
