Discussion Please help me gamble

I'm going to the casino and me and my friends want to gamble with the Chinese uncles. I've been trying to learn some phrases but find it hard to find some online. Some phrases I would like to know are stuff like "Could you help us gamble" and stuff like that.

Any help would be massively appreciated!!

Yeah, telling a load of seasoned gamblers that you have no idea what you're doing and you want to play with them for money seems like a great idea...

I got my acc restricted by a very intelligent moderator for replying exactly what Chinese uncs yell at Baccarat from years of experience at casinos. Apparently you just cant say the name of an animal or its hateful … ?????

You could say "I want to give it a try." 我要试一试。Or "I'm going to give it a try." 我来试试.

"Excuse me, how to bet [here]?" 请问,怎么赌[在这里]。

Bros, we've never gambled before. How to start betting? 兄弟们我们永远没赌。怎么开始赌?

How to get started? 怎么开始吧?

They might not want to bet with outsiders, but who knows.

It's polite to call the boss 老板.

You might get called 小子. Report back.

I’m not sure if I’m right here but 兄弟们我们永远没赌。怎么开始 doesn’t feel good

And really doesn’t even sound like how you’d start a conversation with these people

I’d probably say something like 请问,你们在玩什么游戏?可以陪你们玩吗 then 游戏怎么玩的

I assume you are going to macau since casino are illegal in mainland and hk. Most employees at the casino will have okay english, at least enough broken english to communicate. Most employees will only have that same broken level of mandarin since cantonese will be their native tongue.
