• "At a blackjack table, play proceeds right to left, from the player's point of view. When it is your turn, you can make a number of decisions including hit, stand, double-down, or split a pair."

  • "The mathematical probability of something happening is its true odds. Casinos maintain their advantage by paying players less than the true odds of their wins."

  • "Casinos issue dollar slot tokens for the same reason, they don't seem like real money. But of course they are worth a dollar and you should always think about them like real dollars, not tokens."

  • "You are not permitted to touch your bet at a blackjack table once the first card of a hand has been dealt. Only the dealer is allowed to touch the chips during a hand."

  • "Casinos are smart, they know that luck alone will get you nothing in the long run. That's why they trust the math of casino games while losing players rely more on luck."
