Finding your feet
Take a walk around before choosing a game. Table signs and game information screens explain limits and rules. Staff can explain the practical details of joining a table, using chips or cashing out.
The guides on this site introduce six common casino games. They are a starting point; the rules posted at the table or machine govern the game you are playing.
Keep your own pace
Set a time limit and an amount you can comfortably spend on entertainment before playing. Keep the cost of dinner, accommodation and travel outside that amount. Taking a break or ending your visit early is always an option.
Gambling outcomes are uncertain. Treat the evening as entertainment and do not rely on it for income or to recover earlier losses.
An accessible evening
Needs differ, and a broad accessibility label is not enough. Ask the venue about the entrance, accessible parking, lifts, toilets, hearing assistance and the route between the casino, restaurant and hotel.
If you need a particular room layout, quiet space or service, confirm it directly before travelling.
