Balancing the use of electronic devices while being considerate of others in public spaces like casinos is an important aspect of modern etiquette. Here are some tips on how to achieve this balance:
1. **Silent Mode or Vibrate**: Ensure that your device is on silent mode or vibrate to prevent loud ring tones from disrupting others around you, especially in quiet areas like the gaming tables or restaurants.
