"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."

"Every casino game is based on strict mathematical and statistical principles. The casinos certainly don't try to play by instinct or feeling, and neither should you; know the mathematical strategy behind the game."

"In order to win a jackpot on a progressive slot machine, you must play with max coins. Otherwise, you are simply making the jackpot bigger for the person who will eventually win it."

"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."

"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."
