"The lights on the top of slot machines aren't just for decoration. Called 'candles', the colour of the bottom light denotes the machine's denomination: nickels yellow, quarters yellow, and dollars blue."

"Usually, a roulette table will have two different balls of slightly different sizes. Dealers can choose which to use based on which is more comfortable. The size of the ball does not affect the outcome."

"When all the bets are placed, the dealer spins the wheel as a rubber flapper at the top flaps between the different stops. Whichever stop the flapper rests on when the wheel stops wins."

"It is fairly common for casinos to offer free blackjack or craps lessons. Not only can you learn how to play these games for free, but often times lessons include bonuses like match coupons."

"When you enter a casino without a plan, you've already lost. Winning players know beforehand what games they are going to play, what stakes they will play, and how much they are willing to lose."
