Many casinos offer free lessons for some of the table games in the casino. Why would the casinos want to teach you to play for free? So you'll gamble more, of course. These lessons are good for beginners or for more experienced players who want to brush up on the rules. Depending on the casino, they may offer live instruction in blackjack, craps, roulette, pai gow, pai gow poker, mini-baccarat and poker.

Not only do the lessons teach you the rules of the game, but they also tell you about the etiquette and jargon that is associated with each game. Taking a lesson can give you the confidence you need to play a game and enjoy yourself without worrying that you are doing something wrong.

Checking directly with the casinos is the best way to find out what gaming lessons are offered and at what time. Casinos are constantly changing the times of their lessons.
