'Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner.' Legend has it that back in the day every Vegas Casino offered a chicken meal for $1.79. As the standard bet was $2, when someone won, they had enough for a chicken dinner.
Unless you're something of a pro, chances are you don't know a whole lot about the world of casino. Well, if you don't know your slot reel from your roulette wheel, or your bets from your bonuses, fear not my thrifty thumbed friends, as Mr. Green is here to help. Here's a beginners guide to casino's in college:
1) Let's start with slots.
Think of slots and you're likely to think of a glittering casino hall, but the first slot machine was actually invented by a straight thinking car mechanic in Germany, purely out of the need to entertain his waiting customers.
Now, the most important part of all, how to use said slot machine. It's as simple as hitting spin, watching the bars rotate with their numerous symbols spinning frantically and then you wait to see that pay line. The more pay lines in a slot the more bets you can make, and the more reels the better the opportunity to win.
Ultimately what determines the size of your bet and win is a combination of three factors: Coin Value, the Bet Level, and the number of bet lines. So if you choose to play a game with a coin value of 2c, with a bet level of 5 and play 10 bet lines, your bet would be 2c x 5 x 10 – so each spin is €1. See? Simple! Now, your only decision is whether you want to play a low, medium or high variance slot game. Low variances games have more modest jackpots but higher chances of winning. At the other of the scale, the high variance games have lower chances of winning but much higher jackpots.

2) Now, onto Blackjack.
Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games for a number of reasons but primarily because it's about you and your level of control. Plus your chances of winning are much higher in blackjack than any other game.
On the path to getting 21 and beating your dealer, you have a number of decisions to make; whether to split or stand, whether to double down or whether to take out insurance. The decisions are yours for the taking.

3) Are you ready for Roulette?

It's pretty simple; you have one ball, one wheel, one dealer and endless ways to bet. The mass appeal with Roulette has always been a combination of its simplicity and endless betting options. You can play it safe by betting on red, black, odd, even or on your favourite number and win 35 times your bet. Count me in!
(Fun fact: Did you know that when you add all the numbers on a roulette wheel, they total 666?)
4) So why not put all that information to good use and get playing?
