  • "The most common casino bet is an even money bet where you get one chip for every chip you bet. So if you bet one chip, you get your original chip back, plus an additional chip."

  • "You are not permitted to touch your bet at a blackjack table once the first card of a hand has been dealt. Only the dealer is allowed to touch the chips during a hand."

  • "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."

  • "Every table game has its own maximum and minimum allowable bets, which are always indicated by a small sign on the table. Often the sign colour corresponds to the same colour chip, $5 tables are red, etc."
