"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."

"Casinos are smart, they know that luck alone will get you nothing in the long run. That's why they trust the math of casino games while losing players rely more on luck."

"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."

"If you turn over a playing card, the chance it will be red is 0.5, or 50%. If the casino was fair, it would pay you $1 for a $1 bet. But if a casino pays you $0.90 instead, it has a 5% edge."

"There are four casino workers at a craps table and three separate sections. The two outside betting sections are mirrors of each other with one dealer controlling bets for the section in front of him."
