"The modern slot machine was born in 1984, when a system of using a Random Number Generator to determine the sequence of stops was invented. This allowed for reels with as many as 256 stops."

"The simplest, yet worst way to leave a casino is when you've lost all your money. It's hard to walk away when you are up, but the best gamblers learn how to maintain discipline and keep their winnings."

"The modern roulette layout comes from mid-nineteenth century France, making it one of the oldest casino games. Roulette dealers are often referred to as croupiers, which is the French word for dealer."

"The roulette wheel is always kept spinning at a constant rate, even if no one is currently playing. The ball is spun in the opposite direction in order to ensure more randomness in the result."

"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."
