  • "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."

  • "There are four casino workers at a craps table and three separate sections. The two outside betting sections are mirrors of each other with one dealer controlling bets for the section in front of him."

  • "Even if you have huge amounts of money to bet, only bet amounts that you feel comfortable with. If you bet more than you're comfortable with you'll make mistakes. If you want to bet less, bet less."
