"The lights on the top of slot machines aren't just for decoration. Called 'candles', the colour of the bottom light denotes the machine's denomination: nickels yellow, quarters yellow, and dollars blue."

"Make sure you know what the betting limits are before you sit down at a blackjack table. Each table has a small placard telling you the minimum and maximum bets for that table."

"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."

"When all the bets are placed, the dealer spins the wheel as a rubber flapper at the top flaps between the different stops. Whichever stop the flapper rests on when the wheel stops wins."

"Usually, a roulette table will have two different balls of slightly different sizes. Dealers can choose which to use based on which is more comfortable. The size of the ball does not affect the outcome."
