"Slot machines have been around since 1887 when San Francisco inventor Charles Fey built a machine featuring three wheels decorated with symbols like diamonds, hearts, and bells, which triggered the jackpot."

"If you turn over a playing card, the chance it will be red is 0.5, or 50%. If the casino was fair, it would pay you $1 for a $1 bet. But if a casino pays you $0.90 instead, it has a 5% edge."

"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."

"When a blackjack hand, either yours or the dealer's, goes over twenty-one it's referred to as a bust or break. You can hear either of these words used at blackjack tables.'

"Casinos are smart, they know that luck alone will get you nothing in the long run. That's why they trust the math of casino games while losing players rely more on luck."
