Casino gambling facts:
- The most popular form of charitable gambling is bingo. In California, bingo is the only charitable game that is legal.
- The first recorded betting games were played with marked disks or bones (the forerunners of dice), and spinning wheels or shields.
- When playing blackjack, always split Aces and never split 4's, 5's or Tens. You would be surprised at how many players split Tens. Why risk getting a lower hand when you already have a twenty value? Also note that at most casinos, you are not allowed to re-split Aces.
- If you have even seen a Baccarat player bend the cards and make a fold in them, don't be surprised. This is common because once the decks in the card shoe are finished in Baccarat, they are usually thrown away. In Baccarat, do not bet on a tie hand.
