"Slot machines are the bread and butter of the casino industry, accounting for three quarters of casino profits. All slot machines are pre-programmed to keep a portion of the cash put into them."

"Playing at a full roulette table is far better than playing at an empty one because it reduces the number of spins you see per hour while qualifying you for better comps through longer play."

"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."

"Players with smaller bankrolls should look for multiplier slot machines because you get paid the same relative amount no matter how many coins you play. So one coin bet wins you ten, two coins win twenty, etc."

"When a blackjack hand, either yours or the dealer's, goes over twenty-one it's referred to as a bust or break. You can hear either of these words used at blackjack tables.'
