• "You can't control luck, but you can control how well you play any game which relies on skill. Study and practice the game as much as possible before you play for real in the casino."

  • "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."

  • "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."

  • "Each card in blackjack is worth its number value, two through ten. Jacks, queens, and kings are worth ten. Aces are worth one or eleven, so an ace and a three is four or fourteen."

  • "In addition to classic casino games, modern casinos have adapted an old side-show classic, the 'wheel of fortune', to the casino. Some casinos also call this sucker game the 'big six wheel'."
