• "There is no such thing as a good casino side bet. Side bets are small and casinos hope players will bet a dollar or two and won't realize how much they lose over time."

  • "Casinos typically put their wheel of fortune tables right at the entrance to the casino, hoping that suckers will plop some money down as soon as they walk in. You should just keep on walking."

  • "You get free drinks when you play in a casino. Casinos do this because alcohol makes you gamble more, of course. If you want to stay in control and have a shot at winning, don't drink."

  • "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."

  • "Those seven-figure progressive jackpots are almost impossible to hit; you have a better chance of getting hit by a meteorite. Playing these slots is the easiest way of giving the casino your money."
