"An insurance bet doesn't help you win or protect your hand, it only allows you to push if the dealer does have a blackjack. This bet has a huge house edge and is never recommended."

"The roulette wheel is always kept spinning at a constant rate, even if no one is currently playing. The ball is spun in the opposite direction in order to ensure more randomness in the result."
