1. Casino's can be exciting and fun, but watch out for the risk.  You can get lost in the thrilling experience of winning and end up hooked.  Casinos count on the hook to get you playing over and over.  The casino does not count on "luck" to make a profit.  They rely on the odds and even though they win some and lose some, over the long run, the odds determine who wins the most.  You need to know that the odds are in favor of the casino.  Never depend on the odds to favor you when you play.
2. Slot machines are where the majority of a casino's action and winning come from.  They are simple to use and require little player skill.  Remember, luck is not a skill!! Most modern machines are electronic with symbol combinations coming up randomly.  The machines are pre-programmed to return a certain percentage to the players.  Some return 85% but there are some that return as high as 98%.  It all depends on the game, location and usage the machine has had.
3. Roulette has always been the most popular game in the casino.  Each table will have minimum chips required as well as a minimum amount that must be bet on each spin of the wheel.  You will most likely find the minimums posted at the table. The odds on a roulette wheel are determined by "to" and "for".  If you are betting a "to" table, when you win, you win back your original chip plus the winnings.  If you are betting a "for" table and you win, you receive back only the winnings but not the original chip you bet with.  Remember, when you leave a roulette table, cash in your chips or exchange them for regular casino chips.  They will not have value any other place in the casino as each player at a roulette table is given colored chips that differentiate them from the other players.
4. Video poker - casino's gold to win.  There are three things you need to know about video poker that will strip away the mystery and help you understand its value to you.  Your poker strategy should include:
       -  Be able to read the pay tables and play the ones with the highest payback.
       -  Be sure you know the best video poker strategy for the machines you have chosen to play.
       -  Make sure you know the volatility of the machine you are playing - what affect it will have on your available bankroll.

   Remember, the house advantage in video poker is greatly affected by how much knowledge you are playing with.  Because there are a never-ending variety of games, proper machine selection and knowing the proper strategy for the machine are critical to your chances of winning or loosing.

GOOD LUCK!!!
