Dice control ? Watch for shooters who do not shake the dice before each roll, and who roll the same way each time. They have better control over the dice than random throwers. When you find one of those shooters, play at his or her table, and bet with the shooter, if he or she is winning.

Where applicable, you must also check that the bar-coded serial number on your ticket is clearly readable and that the "Void" box has not been marked. Keep your ticket safe. You'll need it to claim your prize, as it is the only proof that you are a winner.

I hope to break even this week. I need the money. - VETERAN LAS VEGAS GAMBLER
