According to statistician Jeffrey Rosenthal, the casino game you should absolutely steer clear of is the Video Lottery Terminal.  Those are the ones with Keno or slot games.  They give a 5% to 15% edge TO the house. You want better odds?  Play Craps, and you'll have a 49.29% chance of winning.  By the way, both of these are "pure chance games" meaning it's all luck.  They don't have a skill element like Blackjack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW3KRaz4aI4&t=375s

The Hash Brown McMuffin.  It's [...]

She was sitting behind the Canucks' bench when she noticed a weird MOLE on the assistant equipment manager's neck.  So she typed a message to him on her phone . . . showed it to him through the glass . . . and he took it seriously.
