• "Casinos never make rule changes that benefit the player; if you see a new rule, it's bad for you. For example, some casinos are starting to pay 6:5 for blackjacks instead of the better 3:2."

  • "Casinos like churn, which is the term casinos use when players continue playing with their winnings. Remember, the longer you play, the more likely the casino is to separate you from your money again."

  • "Bonus multiplier slot machines operate like regular multipliers, except the jackpot for a max bet is significantly higher, 5,000 for one coin, 10,000 for two, 50,000 for three. You usually want to bet the maximum."

  • "In the early 20th century, slots were made illegal. To get around this, slot machines were made to look like vending machines and players would actually get sticks of gum every time they played."

  • "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."
