The casino floor is a breeding ground for wild superstitions, urban legends, and completely illogical betting strategies.

These false beliefs are not only mathematically incorrect, but they can also cost you a massive amount of money.

The Gambler's Fallacy and Slot Machines

You will frequently see gamblers pouring money into a 'cold' machine, assuming that a massive win is guaranteed to happen soon.

Because every spin is dictated by an RNG (Random Number Generator), every single result is a completely independent event.

• The machine does not know if it just paid out a million dollars or if it hasn't paid out in a week
• Casinos do not have a secret switch in the back room that turns a machine from 'cold' to 'hot'
• Walking away from a machine does not mean the very next person is guaranteed to win 'your' jackpot

Debunking Dealer Manipulation Myths

There is a widespread rumor that dealers have a 'signature spin' allowing them to intentionally hit or avoid certain numbers.

The speed of the wheel, the bounce of the ball, and the diamond deflectors introduce far too much chaos for human control.

Leave the lucky charms at home and focus on bankroll management and finding the lowest house edge.
