"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 stickman stands across from the dealers and uses a long stick to move the dice around. He directs the flow of the game, calls the roll, and controls bets in the centre section."

"Usually, a roulette table will have two different balls of slightly different sizes. Dealers can choose which to use based on which is more comfortable. The size of the ball does not affect the outcome."
