  • "Blackjack tables are felt-covered half circles with room for seven players. Each player has a box or circle in front of them where they put their bet while other chips outside are not in play."

  • "You cannot convert your chips back to cash at the table. Instead, ask to 'colour up' and the dealer will convert your stack to higher denominations. Then take your chips to the cashier's cage to get cash back."

  • "Turing a card over 10 times will statistically result in 5 reds and 5 blacks. If you bet $1 each time with this house edge, you would win $4.50 but lose $5. In the long run, you expect to lose $0.50, or 5% of your money."
