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.

Myth 1: A Slot Machine is 'Due' to Hit

Many players will hover around a machine that hasn't paid out recently, firmly believing it is mathematically ready to explode.


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

There is a widespread rumor that dealers have a 'signature spin' allowing them to intentionally hit or avoid certain numbers.


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