"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."

"In the early 20th century, slots were made illegal. To get around this, slot machines were made to look like vending machines and players would actually get sticks of gum every time they played."

"The bigger the prize, the less likely you are to win it. One to one bets like in blackjack are the easiest to win, while enormous jackpot games also have an enormous house edge."

"You are not permitted to touch your bet at a blackjack table once the first card of a hand has been dealt. Only the dealer is allowed to touch the chips during a hand."

"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."
