"The Random Number Generator on each slot machine uses a complicated formula to generate numbers. This algorithm is known to the authorities, who can test machines to ensure they are working properly."

"The modern slot machine was born in 1984, when a system of using a Random Number Generator to determine the sequence of stops was invented. This allowed for reels with as many as 256 stops."

"A typical big six wheel breaks down the following way: two special symbols which pay $40 or $45, two $20 stops, four $10 stops, eight $5 stops, fifteen $2 stops, and twenty-three $1 stops."

"Speed is good for the casino but bad for you. The more times you play per hour, the more the house edge compounds and makes it more likely that you will lose overall."

"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."
