• "Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."

  • "Those seven-figure progressive jackpots are almost impossible to hit; you have a better chance of getting hit by a meteorite. Playing these slots is the easiest way of giving the casino your money."

  • "The minimum table limit at a roulette table is the same whether you make inside or outside bets. On the other hand, because you can win more, inside bets often have a lower maximum limit."

  • "Never take a cash advance from your credit card in a casino. The fees charged by the casino are outrageous, and don't include the additional fee that your credit card company will charge you."

  • "The cost of playing in a casino can be deceiving. Unlike going to the ballet where the price is set, the price of casino gambling can change quickly and can be impossible to predict."
