"Playing at a full roulette table is far better than playing at an empty one because it reduces the number of spins you see per hour while qualifying you for better comps through longer play."

"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."

"Players with smaller bankrolls should look for multiplier slot machines because you get paid the same relative amount no matter how many coins you play. So one coin bet wins you ten, two coins win twenty, etc."

"Every table game has its own maximum and minimum allowable bets, which are always indicated by a small sign on the table. Often the sign colour corresponds to the same colour chip, $5 tables are red, etc."

"Slot machines have been around since 1887 when San Francisco inventor Charles Fey built a machine featuring three wheels decorated with symbols like diamonds, hearts, and bells, which triggered the jackpot."
