"Video slot machines don't have the pay table displayed on the front. Instead, you should take a look at the help screen before you start to study the winning combinations and the bonus games, if offered."

"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."

"Dealers are prohibited from making any direct transactions with players. You must place your money on the table where the dealer will convert it to chips and place the chips in front of you."

"Ideally, you want to bet big when you are winning, and small when you are not. This is harder to do than you think because you can never be sure when a streak is going to end."

"Slow and steady is the best strategy for slot playing. That way you can play for a longer time with the same money and take advantage of more casino perks, like free drinks."
