"The mathematical probability of something happening is its true odds. Casinos maintain their advantage by paying players less than the true odds of their wins."

"Players with smaller bankrolls should look for multiplier slot machines because you get paid the same relative amount no matter how many coins you play. So one coin bet wins you ten, two coins win twenty, etc."

"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."

"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."

"Casinos typically put their wheel of fortune tables right at the entrance to the casino, hoping that suckers will plop some money down as soon as they walk in. You should just keep on walking."
