"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."

"One of the reasons casinos use chips on the tables is that they seem less like money and more like toys. But remember, they are worth exactly the same as real cash, and should be treated accordingly."

"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."

"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."

"The simplest, yet worst way to leave a casino is when you've lost all your money. It's hard to walk away when you are up, but the best gamblers learn how to maintain discipline and keep their winnings."
