• "Baccarat is a French word, therefore the game is pronounced in French. To sound like a pro: the 't' at the end is silent, while the first syllable should be 'baa' like a sheep."

  • "The big six wheel is a pure sucker game, with the house edge ranging from a whopping 11% for the best $1 bet to an astounding 24% on the special bets."

  • "Although roulette has a relatively high house edge, you can play for longer because an average table only sees about thirty spins an hour, compared to sixty games an hour for blackjack."

  • "If you want to join a craps game, wait for a break when the dice are in the centre of the table. Then place your money down on the table and wait for your chips."

  • "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."
