"When you enter a casino without a plan, you've already lost. Winning players know beforehand what games they are going to play, what stakes they will play, and how much they are willing to lose."

"If you turn over a playing card, the chance it will be red is 0.5, or 50%. If the casino was fair, it would pay you $1 for a $1 bet. But if a casino pays you $0.90 instead, it has a 5% edge."

"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."

"In the nineteenth century, immigrant labourers from China introduced keno, which would eventually become video keno, to the United States. Because of its origins, it was called the 'Chinese Lottery' at the time."
