"In shoe-dealt blackjack, you must use your hands to tell the dealer what you want to do. While you can also say your intention out loud, the hand signals are required for the security cameras."

"The only game where the probabilities change is in blackjack, where every card dealt alters the probability of which card will be next. EV in blackjack can alternate between positive and negative."

"You cannot convert your chips back to cash at the table. Instead, ask to 'colour up' and the dealer will convert your stack to higher denominations. Then take your chips to the cashier's cage to get cash back."
