"An insurance bet doesn't help you win or protect your hand, it only allows you to push if the dealer does have a blackjack. This bet has a huge house edge and is never recommended."

"Nowadays, most slot machines have multiple pay lines. You choose how many lines to play and how much to bet on each, but you must bet at least one coin on each line to activate it or winning that line won't count."

"Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."

"One of the reasons casinos use chips on the tables is that they seem less like money and more like toys. But remember, they are worth exactly the same as real cash, and should be treated accordingly."

"Every reel on a slot machine has a certain number of stops which contain either symbols or nothing. While machines with physical reels usually have 22 stops, virtual slot machines can have hundreds of stops."
