Can't Anyone Here Play This Game?

Dear Frank:

I find that I am getting irritated by the many people who have no idea how to play the casino games or how to have manners when playing. They buy in the wrong way at craps, throwing their chips out when a shooter has the dice. They put their hands over the table. At blackjack the experts are always telling other people how to play their hands and get angry when the other player does it his own way. I have actually had other blackjack players yell at me for playing basic strategy at the game!

I find that in roulette people shove me out of the way to get their chips on the layout. That is bad manners! Even at the slot machines I have people bug me about when I will finish my play so they can have my machine.

Is it me or are casino players getting stupider?

Max

Dear Max:

All your points are well taken. I don't know if casino players are getting stupider but the stupid ones sometimes seem legion in many casinos. While I understand your frustration, these ploppies come with the territory. You just have to ignore them or hope the dealers or floor people scolds those who show no manners.
