I am not going to give you in depth gaming advice or lessons for a couple of reasons: -

Firstly I do not want to give anyone any ideas of how they could win or more importantly be considered in any way responsible for their losses. If I were in a position where I had this knowledge I would be a professional gambler.

Secondly there are many excellent books that have far more resources behind them than I have. I would recommend that you use these books to learn the games but nothing more as if the authors really had systems that guaranteed winning they would not bother writing books.

1. If you are not sure about a game or rules on a table stand back for a few hands and watch and learn, this will also give you the opportunity to decide if you are happy with the atmosphere at the table.
   
   
2. DO NOT GAMBLE MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD - this is the golden rule. Chances are you will not beat the house, in fact there is no chance about it you will not beat the house full stop so gamble for entertainment not to get rich.
   
   
3. Never hand a dealer money place it on the table he is not allowed to take it form your hand and trying to pass him money will only cause you embarrassment.
   
   
4. If you think that a dealer is rude just leave the table you can play anywhere do not put up with bad service
   
   
5. Find out when the casino has free gaming lessons and use them they are totally free, good fun and you are not under any pressure to play once your lessons have finished.
   
   
6. If you are new to a game try playing in the morning when the casino is less busy then the dealers will be more able to assist you more. This is particularly useful with craps. I had a nightmare my first time playing when I shot I kept throwing the dice out of the pit and hitting people on other tales and couldn't remember my bet odds. The croupier and other gamblers were fine about it. Things may have been very different if it had been say 10pm on a Friday night.
   
   
7. Do not use any system that involves upping your stakes to cover your losses. You think that you can win but it will not last you will have a bad run and lose big time in the long term. I used to play with systems like this but although you may win 4 out of 5 times in the end you will have a losing run that more than wipes out all of your winnings. The casinos love people who run escalating stake systems and casinos only love people who lose money to them. The only system that can work is to up your stakes when winning so you are gambling with casinos money. There are several strategies that if followed may reduce the house's edge a little. This is particularly useful for blackjack but the house always has the edge this is what pays for everything.
   
   
8. Don't play Keno this has terrible odds stacked in the favour of the house and although simple is really not worth a bet.
   
   
9. When you are new to a game look for a casino with low stakes that way if you are making mistakes or just learning your losses are likely to be smaller. Hotels on the Strip have higher minimums than those downtown but Holiday Inn Boardwalk, Rivera, Imperial Palace, Stratosphere, Casino Royale and the Sahara have lower stakes than the posher Strip casinos.
   
   
10. Get an online account and practice before you get out to Vegas with many of these you get free bonus's every month so you can practice on the casino's money and you may get lucky
