Before anyone spends money on a game of chance, it helps to know a few basic ideas. This sample primer covers them, and staying out of the game is always a sensible option.

Each round stands alone

A draw or spin has no memory. A run of losses does not make a win "due".

The built-in margin

Games are designed so that, across many plays, the operator keeps part of what is staked. Over time, players as a group get back less than they put in.
