"Casinos like churn, which is the term casinos use when players continue playing with their winnings. Remember, the longer you play, the more likely the casino is to separate you from your money again."

"You win in blackjack when the sum of your cards equals twenty-one or less and you beat the dealer. You beat the dealer when you have a higher hand or the dealer goes over twenty-one."

"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."

"The most common casino bet is an even money bet where you get one chip for every chip you bet. So if you bet one chip, you get your original chip back, plus an additional chip."

"Slot machines are the bread and butter of the casino industry, accounting for three quarters of casino profits. All slot machines are pre-programmed to keep a portion of the cash put into them."
