Specific rules established by a casino for how games are played within its venue. These rules are designed to ensure a fair, safe, and enjoyable environment for all guests and to maintain the integrity of the gaming activities. House rules can vary significantly from one casino to another and may include both general casino policies and specific rules for individual games.
General casino rules include policies on dress code, age restrictions, use of electronic devices, and prohibited items on the casino floor. For example, many casinos require patrons to be at least 18 years old to gamble and prohibit outside food and drinks.
When it comes to game specific rules, these rules apply to specific games like blackjack, roulette, or poker. For instance, in blackjack, rules might dictate when a player can double down, split cards, or take insurance. The rules about betting and gaming policies govern how bets are placed, the minimum and maximum bets allowed, and how winnings are paid out. For example, some casinos may limit the number of gaming machines a patron can use during peak hours.
Finally, security and conduct rules address behaviour on the casino premises, such as prohibiting loitering, solicitation, or the use of obscene language.
