"Blackjack tables are felt-covered half circles with room for seven players. Each player has a box or circle in front of them where they put their bet while other chips outside are not in play."

"Video slot machines don't have the pay table displayed on the front. Instead, you should take a look at the help screen before you start to study the winning combinations and the bonus games, if offered."

"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."

"Betting on the banker in baccarat has a mere 1.06% casino edge, but the casino charges a 5% commission on it. The casino has a 1.26% edge on player bets and a huge 14.36% edge on tie bets."

"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."
