Luminous readers
I put this one in mainly because it shows how little trust you or anyone should put in gambling supply house catalog copy. Some of the gimmicks they list, which the amateur cheat buys because he knows no better, are strictly sucker items. When the would-be cheat orders a deck of luminous readers at $12.50 to $18 per deck, he receives by express (these boys avoid using the mails) a red-¬backed deck of cards whose backs bear large numerals lightly marked in with green pencil. You also get a cheap pair of glasses with red-tinted lenses or a red-tinted, transparent eyeshade. When the card is viewed in red light the red back design fades out and the green markings turn dark and become visible for you alone. If you suspect this gimmick, simply ask to borrow the glasses or eyeshade for a moment.

Casino Roulette
The New Jersey Option
When you play even-money outside bets in New Jersey casinos, you will only be liable for one half of your bet if either the zero or the double zero should appear. You only lose half the amount bet. You may remove half or allow the to "imprison" your full bet for one more spin. This is a big advantage over Roulette as played in Nevada, where the zero and the double zero are treated exactly like any other number, and, when either appears, all outside bets are lost. Most European casinos also give this advantage to the outside player. The French even have a name for this type of occurrence; it is known as En Preson.
Special Table Chips
Earlier, I mentioned that special were used in Roulette. The main reason for this is really very simple. Just imagine four different people placing a bet on the same eliminate this confusion true wheel checks (chips) in various colors that are any other chips in the casino. Around the wheel, the dealer has many stacks of various color chips. He offers the player chips from one of the colors to play with and retains the balance of that color as stock with which to pay winnings. also stamp each chip with their own unique words or designs. This means that a chip may have the casino's logo stamped onto its face, or a swirl design, or even "Roulette," for example, to indicate that the chip is for exclusive use on table 1. There are always many different-colored chips on a table which allow the dealer (croupier) to identify the player whose bet it is. The color also identifies the denomination of the particular chip.
None of the chips on the table have any set value. You, the , by informing the dealer at the time you purchase the chips, set the value of the chip. Unless the chip is for the minimum amount set by the table, the dealer will place a small marker on his stacks of the same color. This marker identifies the value of the chip when it is later redeemed. The dealer doesn't care which player picks up which color. He only pays against the bets made, not against the player. A fifty may mean SO˘ or $50; a one usually indicates $1, a five means $5, etc.
Casino Chip Value
The smallest minimum chip value, at the time of this writing, can be found in the Silver City Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. At this casino the player can bet as little as 10˘ on the inside numbers as long as he makes a total bet of fifty cents for a given turn of the wheel. Most Las Vegas and New Jersey casinos allow for 50˘ chips with a minimum of four units (a total of $2) bet. The islands in the Caribbean generally make up their 9wn rules depending on the day of the week, their mood, etc. Afternoon stakes are much lower than evening stakes. More often than not, the 50˘ chip is the rule throughout the islands.
These chips can only be bought on the table at which you are playing. Unlike any other game, in Roulette, chips must be redeemed at that particular table in the casino. Roulette chips from table 1, which you have valued at $1 each, are valueless at any other table in the . Don’t even try to take one home as a souvenir. You might make the dealer angry.
