"The baccarat pit is quite different from other areas of the casino. Certain casinos have baccarat dress codes, while tables have seat numbers and room for fourteen players, yet never contain the number 13"

"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."

"When playing single or double deck blackjack, the cards are dealt face-down and each player has to pick them up with one hand. You cannot share your hand with the other players."

"You are not permitted to touch your bet at a blackjack table once the first card of a hand has been dealt. Only the dealer is allowed to touch the chips during a hand."

"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."
