"Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Casino games are designed so that the house usually wins. It's best to think of gambling as fun and any losses as the price of that fun."

"Every casino game is based on strict mathematical and statistical principles. The casinos certainly don't try to play by instinct or feeling, and neither should you; know the mathematical strategy behind the game."

"In addition to classic casino games, modern casinos have adapted an old side-show classic, the 'wheel of fortune', to the casino. Some casinos also call this sucker game the 'big six wheel'."

"You get free drinks when you play in a casino. Casinos do this because alcohol makes you gamble more, of course. If you want to stay in control and have a shot at winning, don't drink."
