Most important: Although your drinks are free WHILE you are gambling, always tip the waitress/waiter (normally $1 per drink) <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

If you do decide to pursue the table games, in addition to looking up rules online on how to play, many of the bigger casinos offer some sort of free training during their slow times.

Also, buy-ins (minimum play) will vary depending on time of the day, day of the week and whether it's low or high season. As an example, you might be able to play BlackJack at $5 a hand during the day but it will jump to $10 or $15 at night when it starts getting busy. Sometimes they will grandfather you in at the lower minimum if you sit at the same table during the transition to the higher minimums. There will be signs posted on the tables as to what the minimum play is.
