"Everything a casino does is carefully calculated to separate you from your money. Always keep in mind that casinos are businesses, and their business is taking your money from you."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The minimum table limit at a roulette table is the same whether you make inside or outside bets. On the other hand, because you can win more, inside bets often have a lower maximum limit."
