Common Casino Myths Debunked

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'

The most pervasive myth in the entire industry is that a slot machine becomes 'due' for a jackpot after a long losing streak.


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

The machine does not know if it just paid out a million dollars or if it hasn't paid out in a weekCasinos do not have a secret switch in the back room that turns a machine from 'cold' to 'hot'Walking away from a machine does not mean the very next person is guaranteed to win 'your' jackpot
Myth 2: Dealers Can Control the Roulette Ball

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


The speed of the wheel, the bounce of the ball, and the diamond deflectors introduce far too much chaos for human control.
