"When playing single or double deck blackjack, the cards are dealt face-down and each player has to pick them up with one hand. You cannot share your hand with the other players."

"The long run, so to speak, is the expected amount that you would win or lose if you played the game long enough to equal an average result. This is expressed as the EV, or expected value."

"In the early 20th century, slots were made illegal. To get around this, slot machines were made to look like vending machines and players would actually get sticks of gum every time they played."

"If you turn over a playing card, the chance it will be red is 0.5, or 50%. If the casino was fair, it would pay you $1 for a $1 bet. But if a casino pays you $0.90 instead, it has a 5% edge."

"When a blackjack hand, either yours or the dealer's, goes over twenty-one it's referred to as a bust or break. You can hear either of these words used at blackjack tables.'
