"Casino carpets are ugly, and they are ugly for a reason. By making it hard to look at the carpets, you are more likely to look at the tempting slots and tables."

"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."

"Short term results can fluctuate. Sometimes you win more than expected, sometimes you lose. This is called the standard deviation and this is what most people commonly see as 'luck'."

"Every table game has its own maximum and minimum allowable bets, which are always indicated by a small sign on the table. Often the sign colour corresponds to the same colour chip, $5 tables are red, etc."

"In addition to classic casino games, modern casinos have adapted an old side-show classic, the 'wheel of fortune', to the casino. Some casinos also call this sucker game the 'big six wheel'."
