"You get free drinks when you play in a casino. Casinos do this because alcohol makes you gamble more, of course. If you want to stay in control and have a shot at winning, don't drink."

"There are no clocks in casinos because they want to make time seem slower; the longer you stay, the more you play. So don't forget to bring your phone or wear a watch."

"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."

"It's usually best to go to a casino with cash only; no credit cards, debit cards, or checkbooks. You don't want to be tempted to play with more money than you can afford."

"Every slot machine is controlled by a computer chip containing the Random Number Generator. Whether the machine is being played or not, the RNG generates thousands of numbers per second."
