A casino is a fun place to be, but at the end of the day it’s a business. The house always wins, and the fat cats are making a big profit from swindling you. Fortunately, there are ways to get back at them that they’ll never expect. Read on to learn about the 10 things casinos hate when you do this.
First, look around. If everyone is winning at the slots, switch to something else. The second way is to use your ears. Listen for when all the machines are winning. They will sound different than when nobody is winning. You can also use your eyes to spot a machine that’s set up to win. They’ll usually have a jackpot sign, and they’ll be placed in highly visible areas.
Another good tip is to pay attention to the dealer. If they are sloppy and are flashing the cards by accident, try to count them. This is called card-holing and it can give you a 6-9 percent edge over the house. Bill Zender used to do this and made a living off it before the casinos cottoned on.
Originally named Chain Reaction, What Is This was formed at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles in 1980 by guitarist Hillel Slovak. The band was later joined by drummer Jack Irons, singer Alain Johannes, and bassist Todd Strassman. Throughout their career, the band would release three EPs and two full-length albums before breaking up in 1985. The band members went on to form other bands, including The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eleven, and Mark Lanegan and the Crooked Vultures.
