"Everything a casino does is carefully calculated to separate you from your money. Always keep in mind that casinos are businesses, and their business is taking your money from you."

"Nearly all modern slot machines pay out winning combinations that start on the furthest left reel and progress to the right. Keep that in mind when it looks like you won, but didn't get paid."

"Casino results are expressed as probabilities, usually as a decimal amount between zero and one where zero is impossible and one always happens. For example, the chance of a flipped coin being tails is 0.5."

"Roulette wheels are designed so that consecutive numbers are opposite each other, one opposite two, etc. The wheel also alternates between red and black while the green numbers, 0 and 00 are opposite."

"The first slot machine got the nickname 'The Bell', after the winning symbol. It was very profitable since there were a total of 10 symbols with1000 different combinations but the jackpot was only 750 coins."
