"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."

"The roulette wheel is always kept spinning at a constant rate, even if no one is currently playing. The ball is spun in the opposite direction in order to ensure more randomness in the result."

"A typical big six wheel breaks down the following way: two special symbols which pay $40 or $45, two $20 stops, four $10 stops, eight $5 stops, fifteen $2 stops, and twenty-three $1 stops."

"Playing baccarat is one of the best things you can do in the casino. The house edge is incredibly low but unlike blackjack, you don't have to make any decisions which affect the game."

"Casino carpets are ugly, and they are ugly for a reason. By making it hard to look at the carpets, you are more likely to look at the tempting slots and tables."
