• "Nearly all modern slot machines pay out winning combinations that start on the furthest left reel and progress to the right. Keep that in mind when it looks like you won, but didn't get paid."

  • "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."

  • "Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Casino games are designed so that the house usually wins. It's best to think of gambling as fun and any losses as the price of that fun."

  • "Casinos are smart, they know that luck alone will get you nothing in the long run. That's why they trust the math of casino games while losing players rely more on luck."

  • "Nearly every casino game in the world has an EV under zero, which means that the house has an edge over the player. You might win occasionally, but in the long run you will lose."
