"In 1930s Nevada, bingo was known as keno, and 'Chinese Lottery' was also called keno because lotteries were illegal. To further disguise it, it was called 'race-horse keno' and games were called races."

"The most confusing type of slot machine are the 'Buy-a-Pay' machines. On these, the payout for wins is based on how much you bet, where playing anything other than max coins doesn't make sense."

"Casinos are pretty predictable, they all have the same colours for the same chips. $1 chips are white or blue, $5 chips are red, $25 are green, $100 are black, $500 are purple, and $1,000 are orange."

"There are no clocks in casinos because they want to make time seem slower; the longer you stay, the more you play. So don't forget to bring your phone or wear a watch."

"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."
