"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."

"Every slot machine is controlled by a computer chip containing the Random Number Generator. Whether the machine is being played or not, the RNG generates thousands of numbers per second."

"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."

"In shoe-dealt blackjack, you must use your hands to tell the dealer what you want to do. While you can also say your intention out loud, the hand signals are required for the security cameras."

"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."
