"When playing blackjack with more than two decks, all the players' cards are dealt face-up from a device called a shoe and everyone can see them. Touching your cards is prohibited."

"Roulette wheels are designed so that consecutive numbers are opposite each other, one opposite two, etc. The wheel also alternates between red and black while the green numbers, 0 and 00 are opposite."

"Betting on the banker in baccarat has a mere 1.06% casino edge, but the casino charges a 5% commission on it. The casino has a 1.26% edge on player bets and a huge 14.36% edge on tie bets."

"Turing a card over 10 times will statistically result in 5 reds and 5 blacks. If you bet $1 each time with this house edge, you would win $4.50 but lose $5. In the long run, you expect to lose $0.50, or 5% of your money."

"Although roulette has a relatively high house edge, you can play for longer because an average table only sees about thirty spins an hour, compared to sixty games an hour for blackjack."
