Certain gestures are indeed necessary when you are playing at a Blackjack table. Sending the right signal whenever you want to hit, stand, double, split, or even surrender will make the game flow smoother. It will also help the dealer determine what is it you ask and avoid mistakes. Understand these gestures before playing at a Blackjack table to avoid troubles.

You also need to be nice to other players and the dealer. You are there to have fun, and harassing those people around you will only create an unpleasant atmosphere. Be friendly and ask the dealer politely if you need another card or you want to double; your friendliness will be well appreciated.

Avoid having too much drink at the Blackjack table. If you want to drink and get drunk, go to the bar instead. You are increasing the chance of accidentally acting rude to other people when you are under influence. You will also risk losing money at the table because your abilities to make good calls are decreased substantially by the alcohol. Have a glass or two, but avoid ordering for more.
