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

Believing in gambling fallacies often leads players to make terrible financial decisions at the tables.

Why Machines Are Never ‘Due’

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

The odds of hitting the jackpot are exactly the same on your first spin as they are on your thousandth spin.

• Each spin is mathematically isolated, meaning past results have absolutely no influence on future outcomes
• Software is rigorously audited to ensure that it never artificially alters the odds based on player history
• Chasing a jackpot because a machine feels ‘due’ is the fastest way to empty your wallet

Can Dealers Make You Lose?

Some gamblers get angry at the dealer, accusing them of purposely dropping the ball into a pocket that busts the players.

Furthermore, dealers want you to win; happy players give them tips, while losing players rarely tip at all.

Always remember that the casino relies entirely on statistics, not magic, to guarantee their profit margins.
