"There are no clocks in casinos because they want to make time seem slower; the longer you stay, the more you play. So don't forget to bring your phone or wear a watch."

"One of the reasons casinos use chips on the tables is that they seem less like money and more like toys. But remember, they are worth exactly the same as real cash, and should be treated accordingly."

"There are four casino workers at a craps table and three separate sections. The two outside betting sections are mirrors of each other with one dealer controlling bets for the section in front of him."

"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."

"Make sure you know what the betting limits are before you sit down at a blackjack table. Each table has a small placard telling you the minimum and maximum bets for that table."
