"In order to keep the house edge, casinos offer games where they win outright more often or they offer games where the player may win more often, but doesn't get paid the true odds."

"Nowadays, most slot machines have multiple pay lines. You choose how many lines to play and how much to bet on each, but you must bet at least one coin on each line to activate it or winning that line won't count."

"You cannot convert your chips back to cash at the table. Instead, ask to 'colour up' and the dealer will convert your stack to higher denominations. Then take your chips to the cashier's cage to get cash back."

"The minimum bet at a roulette table is per bet, not per player. Therefore, if the table minimum is $10, every bet made must be $10 or more. Combined bets don't count towards the minimum."

"The simplest, yet worst way to leave a casino is when you've lost all your money. It's hard to walk away when you are up, but the best gamblers learn how to maintain discipline and keep their winnings."
