Only play new slot games, as the Casino wants to get people addicted to them, so they make them ridiculously loose, and then in about 2 months, the Casino programs them to be tight.
The Casino makes the slots tight on Fridays, knowing that most people get paid on Fridays. Monday-Thursday slots are loose.
The Casino makes the slots tight when the Casino is crowded. They make them loose on less crowded times.
Playing with your player's card allows the slot/Casino to take track of your betting patterns and pay you accordingly(this one is kind of creepy). For example, they will pay you better when you play with .50 a spin versus $5 a spin.
Lottery myths.
It is always a good idea to buy scratch off Lottery tickets in packs of 12, as the odds of winning on a scratch off ticket is 1:12.
It is a good idea to only buy brand new scratch off tickets (first month is optimal)as the Lottery tends to put winning tickets in new games. Avoid ticket games that have been around for a year.
On draw games, play with close numbers. For example, if 8,20,25,30, and 36 came up yesterday, play 7,19,24, 29, and 35 today.
Play similar numbers in Cash 3 and Play 4. For example, if 3652 came up in Play 4, that means it is wise to play 365 in Cash 3, Box or straight very soon.
Play all 17 numbers in Lucky Money. You are guaranteed at least one winner.
These are myths, not to be taken as facts.

I have one truth when it comes to the lottery. If you are going to play and want to not share the money with as many people if you do win, play at least one number over 31. A huge amount of people play birthdays, so you are more likely to share a jackpot if all your numbers are 31 or under.

Quote: KentryAvoid ticket games that have been around for a year.
Around here, the lottery retailers all display a notice next to their scratchers about which games have already had all the top prizes claimed. The notice is updated daily (it prints out on the same machine that they print of pick-number lottery tickets).
Those would be good games to avoid.
Slots are set to pay off their listed percentages within a fixed period of time/spins (i.e. if a machine is advertised as 95%, then it has to pay off, say, $9500 of every "block of $10,000" it takes in). Among other things, this would make it impossible to hit a jackpot, since that "block" would pay out more than 95%.
In MegaMillions or Powerball, play 1-2-3-4-5/6, since it is as likely as any other set of numbers and "nobody" plays 1-2-3-4-5/6, so you won't have to share the jackpot. (In fact, either Steve Jobs or Steve Wozniak appeared in an ad for California's Lotto and said that he played 1-2-3-4-5-6.)
However, just politely ask a slot attendant where the loose machines are. They know.
And finally, an oldie but a goodie...
The casinos pump extra oxygen into the floor so the patrons can stay awake and alert and at the tables longer!

It's not true. Think about how big casinos are. Think about how tall the ceilings are.
How much oxygen would they have to pump in for it to make any difference? How much would that cost?
It's an urban legend. It has never happened.

Although, many casinos are known to spike their drinks with Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO), causing a variety of effects in the patrons. We use it in our own facility unfortunately.

I don't know how unfortunate it is, but as you know, many establishments do use it.

Casinos are using DHMO in order to enhance alcohol to help immobilize their patrons and induce catatonia. The ATF agency should look into this.

I hear that it's used quite a lot in the bathrooms.
Did you know that it is a key component in "acid rain"?
Quote: RSDihydrogen monoxide can be found almost everywhere, it's not specific to casinos (although, casinos do use it). The government doesn't seem to mind it, even though a ton of people have died from the stuff.
Believe it or not, death from Dihydrogen Monoxide kills about 372,000 people every year. It's the 3rd leading cause of unintentional death in the world. Source
More dangerous than guns. Not sure why it's still allowed anywhere???

A common form of DHMO is known to cause debilitating, excruciating headaches, yet casinos still provide it to patrons often without even asking. I know better - I typically ask casinos not to put any in my food or drink.Quote: Zcore13Believe it or not, death from Dihydrogen Monoxide kills about 372,000 people every year.

The bad news is that I'm fairly certain this is a substance that they do pump into the casino floor atmosphere.
A Casino staff can kick you out for winning too much money at table games.

You would think this would be true but sadly no. At South Beach Casino (Indian Casino in Manitoba) a 70 year old Asian lady was flat betting 3 hands at $500 a hand and won $90,000. She was informed by the casino manager under direct orders from her superstitious boss that she was welcome to come to the casino but was banned from all BJ games. I had just started dealing there and thought this was crazy, but after 13 months of dealing there I realized this was just the tip of iceberg. The guy running the casino would watch the tables from his desktop in his office and if someone was paying too much he would call the pit and get the dealer moved to a new table. He would continue this if the new dealer paid too much as well. The funny part is most of the games were shoe dealt so when a new dealer came in they were dealing the exact same cards that the previous dealer would have dealt anyway.

This was never a myth, are you serious? It's one
of the biggest reasons they WILL kick you out.
You hear about it all the time. I got kicked out
of the Klondike for winning $400 in 20 min
on BJ, and I wasn't even counting. Some pits
are the most superstitious places on earth, of course
they'll get rid of you if they think you're on a
streak.
