"The baccarat pit is quite different from other areas of the casino. Certain casinos have baccarat dress codes, while tables have seat numbers and room for fourteen players, yet never contain the number 13"

"Casinos never make rule changes that benefit the player; if you see a new rule, it's bad for you. For example, some casinos are starting to pay 6:5 for blackjacks instead of the better 3:2."

"It's usually best to go to a casino with cash only; no credit cards, debit cards, or checkbooks. You don't want to be tempted to play with more money than you can afford."

"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."

"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."
