"Casinos never make rule changes that benefit the player; if you see a new rule, it's bad for you. For example, some casinos are starting to pay 6:5 for blackjacks instead of the better 3:2."

"Players with smaller bankrolls should look for multiplier slot machines because you get paid the same relative amount no matter how many coins you play. So one coin bet wins you ten, two coins win twenty, etc."

"There are four casino workers at a craps table and three separate sections. The two outside betting sections are mirrors of each other with one dealer controlling bets for the section in front of him."

"Nearly all modern slot machines pay out winning combinations that start on the furthest left reel and progress to the right. Keep that in mind when it looks like you won, but didn't get paid."

"In shoe-dealt blackjack, you must use your hands to tell the dealer what you want to do. While you can also say your intention out loud, the hand signals are required for the security cameras."
