Casino etiquette: play in style and enjoy

Planning your first visit to VIAGE soon? This is great, of course, but perhaps also a little bit daunting. The moment you walk through those casino doors, you enter another world.

VIAGE brings together fun and elegance in the vibrant heart of Brussels. Whether you are a seasoned player or a curious newcomer, a flawless casino experience starts with proper etiquette. These tips will ensure that both you and all the players around you have a great time.

Dress to impress

We love a touch of class at our entertainment centre, because VIAGE is more than a casino. Our dress code is smart casual – think smart clothes that are comfortable. We prefer to leave sportswear and beachwear outside the casino. Wear something nice and enjoy the luxury and elegance around you.

Respect for all

Our dealers are there to help you and make the game sessions run smoothly. Always treat them and your fellow players with respect. Keep things pleasant and avoid loud talking, swearing or aggressive behaviour. A friendly atmosphere makes the game more enjoyable for everyone.

If you decide to join a table, you are meant to play. Please don't occupy a seat because you want to watch. It is fine to watch from a distance, as long as you don't disturb the dealer and players. This also applies to the slots: please don't lean against the machines with your hand or shoulder if you want to watch. The casino is often busy, so always be polite and respect the staff and other guests. Allow the other players their time and space, and please don't look over someone's shoulder uninvited. When you are playing cards, make sure you keep your hands above the table. If you don't, it could raise suspicion from your fellow players as well as security.

“Nobody is always a winner, and anybody who says he is, is either a liar or doesn’t play poker.” — Amarillo Slim.

Be a good loser and a modest winner. Congratulate others on their wins and be sportsmanlike when you lose. There is also an important unwritten rule about tipping. Tipping the dealers on winnings is not only polite; it is also a way of showing your appreciation. It doesn't have to be much, but the gesture is certainly appreciated.

Mobile phones and other electronic devices do not belong at the gaming tables. This means fewer distractions and a better playing experience for everyone. So, keep your phone on silent and in your pocket. It will improve your focus on the game. If you would really like to take a photo to immortalise your casino visit, please quickly ask the staff for permission first.

Know the rules of the game

Many games are played together with other people. This means it is a good idea to go to the casino well prepared. Take the time to learn the basic game rules of games such as blackjack and roulette. This keeps the game running smoothly and prevents misunderstandings. And if you have additional questions, our staff will be happy to help, of course. This way, you can play confidently and enjoy yourself to the fullest.

Enjoy yourself responsibly

We have an extensive, delicious drinks menu, but please drink in moderation. Excessive alcohol consumption can have a negative effect on your game performance and is disruptive to others. At VIAGE, smoking is only allowed in the designated smoking areas. Bear this in mind and follow the instructions.

A good money management strategy is essential for a pleasant casino experience. Set a budget in advance and stick to it. This way you stay relaxed, and you can enjoy your evening without any financial worries.

VIAGE makes every effort to give each guest an unforgettable experience. By following these etiquette guidelines, you will contribute to the stylish and fun atmosphere that characterises our casino. We hope you have an enjoyable and successful visit!
