"Never take a cash advance from your credit card in a casino. The fees charged by the casino are outrageous, and don't include the additional fee that your credit card company will charge you."

"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."

"Ideally, all bets should be made with chips. However, casinos will allow one-time bets made with cash. To confirm this bet, the dealer will say, 'money plays'. if you win, you will receive your winnings in casino chips."

"Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."

"Casinos are pretty predictable, they all have the same colours for the same chips. $1 chips are white or blue, $5 chips are red, $25 are green, $100 are black, $500 are purple, and $1,000 are orange."
