"One of the reasons casinos use chips on the tables is that they seem less like money and more like toys. But remember, they are worth exactly the same as real cash, and should be treated accordingly."

"Two different roulette wheels exist: European wheels which have 36 numbers plus a single zero and a house edge of 2.63% and American wheels which have a zero and double-zero and a 5.26% casino edge."
