"Mechanical slot machines have everything you need to known written on the front glass. You can immediately see the type, how much it costs to play, and how much you can win for each combination."

"Every table game has its own maximum and minimum allowable bets, which are always indicated by a small sign on the table. Often the sign colour corresponds to the same colour chip, $5 tables are red, etc."

"In front of the big six wheel is a table which has pictures of all the different stops on it. To bet, you place your chip on whichever stop you think is going to hit."

"The most confusing type of slot machine are the 'Buy-a-Pay' machines. On these, the payout for wins is based on how much you bet, where playing anything other than max coins doesn't make sense."

"Speed is good for the casino but bad for you. The more times you play per hour, the more the house edge compounds and makes it more likely that you will lose overall."
