"Nearly all modern slot machines pay out winning combinations that start on the furthest left reel and progress to the right. Keep that in mind when it looks like you won, but didn't get paid."

"The modern slot machine was born in 1984, when a system of using a Random Number Generator to determine the sequence of stops was invented. This allowed for reels with as many as 256 stops."

"When playing single or double deck blackjack, the cards are dealt face-down and each player has to pick them up with one hand. You cannot share your hand with the other players."

"The first slot machine got the nickname 'The Bell', after the winning symbol. It was very profitable since there were a total of 10 symbols with1000 different combinations but the jackpot was only 750 coins."

"It is fairly common for casinos to offer free blackjack or craps lessons. Not only can you learn how to play these games for free, but often times lessons include bonuses like match coupons."
