Walking into a casino can feel like entering a foreign country where everyone speaks a completely different language.

Mastering this slang ensures you know exactly what is happening during fast-paced games.

Basic Betting and Money Slang

Your 'bankroll' is your gaming budget, and protecting it should be your top priority.

Conversely, a 'grinder' is a player who makes small bets over a long period to slowly build a profit.

• 'Toke' is the casino slang for a tip given to the dealer
• 'Color up' means exchanging your small denomination chips for larger ones before leaving
• 'Comp' refers to free gifts, rooms, or meals given by the casino to reward your play

Slang Used at the Tables and Slots

In Blackjack, 'busting' means your card total has exceeded 21, resulting in an automatic loss.

At the craps table, rolling a seven after the point is established is known as 'sevening out'.

Do not be afraid to ask the dealer to explain a term if you are confused; they are there to help.
