7. All tables are marked with their limit, check before playing.

At one point or another, everyone is new to a casino and sometimes unsure of how to act. Here's a list of a few aspects of how you should act to keep in mind next time you're at a casino.


1. When playing any electronic game (slots, video poker) limit yourself to one machine, especially during busy periods.

For those of you who haven't heard, Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course in Pennsylvania made a minor mistake on a recent promotional mailing. And by minor, we mean kind of huge. The mailing sent out offered individuals $100 of freeplay each week for the month of December and two buffets meals.

The offer was supposed to be for $10 of free play a week, not $100. And the offer was only supposed to go out to just under 1,000 individuals. Instead, it went out to 55,000 people. Whoops. The casino is currently offering $100 in free play and two buffet passes to individuals redeeming this offer between now and Christmas.

See the company's official statement after the jump.
