"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."

"Although roulette has a relatively high house edge, you can play for longer because an average table only sees about thirty spins an hour, compared to sixty games an hour for blackjack."

"It's usually best to go to a casino with cash only; no credit cards, debit cards, or checkbooks. You don't want to be tempted to play with more money than you can afford."

"Roulette wheels are designed so that consecutive numbers are opposite each other, one opposite two, etc. The wheel also alternates between red and black while the green numbers, 0 and 00 are opposite."

"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."
