Proper etiquette when playing at a blackjack table involves several key practices. Players should approach the game with respect for the dealer and other participants by arriving and settling in quietly, waiting for a space at the table, and following the dealer's instructions. It's important to use hand signals clearly to indicate playing decisions, such as hitting or standing, and to avoid verbally announcing intentions to prevent confusion. Keeping chips organized and handling them discreetly shows respect for the game flow.

Proper etiquette at a blackjack table is essential for creating a pleasant and harmonious gaming environment for all players involved. Here are some additional points to keep in mind:
1. **Respect the Dealer:** Treat the dealer with courtesy and respect. Remember that the dealer is there to facilitate the game and enforce the rules. Avoid showing frustration or taking out your losses on the dealer.
2. **Respect Other Players:** Be mindful of other players at the table. Avoid unnecessary distractions, loud noises, or disruptive behavior that could disrupt the game for others.
3. **Avoid Touching Other Players' Chips:** Each player's chips are their own property. Refrain from touching or reaching for another player's chips, as this can be seen as intrusive and disrespectful.
4. **Tipping the Dealer:** It is customary to tip the dealer when you are winning. This can be done by placing a bet for the dealer or by simply tipping with chips. Tipping is not mandatory but is generally appreciated.
5. **Know the Game Rules:** Make sure you are familiar with the basic rules of the game before taking a seat at the table. This will help ensure a smoother gameplay experience for everyone.
6. **Respect Personal Space:** Allow for ample personal space between you and other players at the table. Avoid leaning over the table or making physical contact that could make others uncomfortable.
7. **Be Mindful of Smoking Policies:** If you are playing at a casino that allows smoking, be considerate of non-smoking players by adhering to designated smoking areas and not blowing smoke in their direction.
Remember, proper etiquette not only enhances your own gaming experience but also contributes to a positive atmosphere at the table for all players.
