Learning this terminology will not only make you sound like a pro but also help you avoid costly misunderstandings.
The term ‚bankroll‘ refers strictly to the funds you are willing to risk on the casino floor.
Conversely, a ‚grinder‘ is a player who makes small bets over a long period to slowly build a profit.
When playing 21, the term ‚bust‘ indicates that a hand has gone over the maximum limit and lost.
At the craps table, rolling a seven after the point is established is known as ’sevening out‘.
