"A typical big six wheel breaks down the following way: two special symbols which pay $40 or $45, two $20 stops, four $10 stops, eight $5 stops, fifteen $2 stops, and twenty-three $1 stops."

"There is no such thing as a good casino side bet. Side bets are small and casinos hope players will bet a dollar or two and won't realize how much they lose over time."

"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."
