Living here in the U.S., I notice different things they do over seas, like at DublinBet.

When the dealer pays the outside wins, the player is allowed to take his winnings before the marker comes off. Here? You'll get your hand cut off. Joking but no chips on the layout are allowed to be touched until the marker is removed.

I even saw players placing bets while the marker is still on.

I am in favor  of the rules  which are being applied  in  the US  Casinos. But I have   seenas well as experienced that  the European B  & M  casinos  do apply those  same standard rules .

Only dorks pick up  the winnings  while the  marker is still up. Those cats better learn  the  casino etiquette.YES Virginia there is  such a thing as  casino etiquette. Every hick should  know this  before entering a  casino  .

I was on DublinBet again today (practice mode). I saw a couple of the ladies with their purse next to the layout. 

No fricken way, here in the U.S.  No cell phone, no pack of smokes, no lighter, no purse. They dont even let me keep my pen/pencil on the table (at least here).

This " NOTHING" on the table depends upon  the casino where you play.  At TurningStone  in one section  they don`t allow  anything on the table whereas in another  part of the casino they don`t mind.

Then in Atlantic City at the Trump Taj Mahal there was this  cat who  made  himself comfortable at seat  number  ONE with an 8 1/2  x 10graph note book on the table with all  different types of street or  dbl street bets.  .Not to forget  to mention  the   cup of coffee also on the table .

I'm sure its different all over. Here, in terms of a beverage. You can have anything but it MUST be in a beverage holder. There are times I hide my pen behind my chips. It does look kind of funny.

To this  date I have never seen any sign that says DO NOT place any objects on the  roulette table. It  appears to be  just  a nonexisting  rule with which the dealers like to excercise their power with.

Here (Ontario, Canada) you can also take your outside chips as soon as all outside bets are paid. 

You can also place new bets before the inside bets are paid as long as your new bets are not in the same dozen.

What?? So lets say the marker is still on the 12. You can place chips on the 15?

I am living in Zandvoort with the oldest legal casino of the Netherlands.I only play the roulette and I know all croupiers.It is a very friendly casino,special  the tablegames corner.As long the marker (dolly) is on the number it is not allowed to withdraw or place the bets on the inside chances.It is allowed to withdraw your bets from the outside bets after the paying out.On the outside bets the dealer doesnot ask who is the owner.On the outside bets the players use mostly cash units not color units. I do not bet on repeaters.I withdraw allways my winning bets.

One thing I feel I am 100% correct on is a NICE SIZE bankroll. Not real sure if there's such a thing as 'too much' but I sure as heck know, you can have too little. You should not walk into the casino with $300, sorry. You need to have enough for the DROP (if there is one) and then hopefully the climb back up comes soon after. $300 is not gonna cut it, in my opinion.

I believe so, but I'll have to pay more attention to the exact distance on my next trip.  I don't do it myself.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

This is driving me nuts......do you get idiot dealers that shout out a specific NAME of a person when a certain number hits? Its usually a sports figure. Every damn time the 23 hits, almost all the dealers (at least here) say...Michael Jordan!!

Shut up please, I dont give a s**t.

it might get like bingo. legs eleven

I'm not saying 'where' I got my opinion (its not that important) but it blows my mind how FEW people play at a B&M casino.

I'll give an example: Years ago when the casino was built here in my town, it only had 3 games, no roulette. The closest for roulette was an hour, 45 minutes. The U.S. law back then, we could still gamble online.

I STILL CHOSE to make the drive. I just dont get the online attraction. DublinBet, I can understand.
