"Although all casino games have a built-in house edge, some games rely purely on luck while others allow players to use skill to improve their odds. Try to play these skill-based games more often."

"You win in blackjack when the sum of your cards equals twenty-one or less and you beat the dealer. You beat the dealer when you have a higher hand or the dealer goes over twenty-one."

"In order to keep the house edge, casinos offer games where they win outright more often or they offer games where the player may win more often, but doesn't get paid the true odds."

"It's usually best to go to a casino with cash only; no credit cards, debit cards, or checkbooks. You don't want to be tempted to play with more money than you can afford."

"Mechanical slot machines have everything you need to known written on the front glass. You can immediately see the type, how much it costs to play, and how much you can win for each combination."
