Can anyone provide some examples of these tawdry and bizarre superstitions?

See the comment above https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7631481 about casino allowing dancing on the table - it's a few levels above blowing on the dice.

  • How helpful is linking to a comment that I wrote? I take it that you are less familiar with baccarat than I am, otherwise you would surely be able to provide an example that I did not write. Do you think the table dancing is a common occurrence? If you read the official complaint that I included in the comment that you linked to one gets the impression that the table dancing is not a common occurrence at baccarat tables.
