"Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."

"You win in blackjack when the sum of your cards equals twenty-one or less and you beat the dealer. You beat the dealer when you have a higher hand or the dealer goes over twenty-one."

"Casinos are specifically laid out to be disorienting and make you get lost so you keep playing. When you first walk in, pick a good landmark which can help you find the exit again."

"The casinos doesn't have all the advantages, you can always stop playing whenever you want. Be smart and quit while you're ahead or before you lose more money than you can handle."

"It's usually best to go to a casino with cash only; no credit cards, debit cards, or checkbooks. You don't want to be tempted to play with more money than you can afford."
