Never actually been to a casino or played poker in a casino but my local casino has a age of 18 to play and im going for my 18th birthday. how much should i bring to play and how does it work getting the chips?
Looking for a ski-in/out chalet or Mont Tremblant Condo with Hot tubs and Pools? Try the the luxury Panache Mont Tremblant or Tremblant resort condos like the convenient Equinox Mont Tremblant or featuring the Bondurant Mont Tremblant or ski-in/out at the Altitude Mont Tremblant

Usually in a poker room, there will be a cage near the table, you give them the money and get your starting stack there. The dealers don’t have a ton of chips at the table, since the players are playing against each other.
As far as how much at a table, then totally depends on the stakes you are playing.
The No Limit tables will have a maximum that you can bring to the table. Might be 300 at a 1/2 table. Ask before you buy in.

If you’re looking to play limit, the rule of thumb is to buy in for 40 times the big blind or more. That’s $160 at a $2/$4 table, $240 at a $3/$6 table, and $400 at a $5/$10 table.
If you want to play no limit, ideally you should buy in for the table max and have four more max buy-in’s in your pocket. At a $1/$2 NL table the max buy in (here anyway) is usually $200. That means you should take $1,000 with you to the casino. I think $500 is plenty for most people though. I wouldn’t suggest much less though, since a couple bad beats could wipe you out.
Good luck and have fun.

Alright, I’m not a gambler :-p But, I’ve been to the casino a few times when I was 21.
I don’t know what the bets are (maybe $5 and above), but regarding the chips: You sit at the table, put your money on the table. During the next round, the dealer will take your money and give you your money’s worth of chips, and you begin to play.
