  Casino quick guide

  play <game>        Join a table; use play to list nearby games.
  bet N       Wager chips first, then credits.
  bet N on BET Choose a roulette, Big 6, baccarat or craps bet.
  bet / rebet        Repeat your last table wager.
  table              Show the table felt; roulette also shows the racetrack,
                     history and payout tables.
  rules              The help page for the game you're playing — every
                     house edition has its own short page.
  list               Every bet accepted right now, with payouts.
  stop               Leave (after a committed table round).

  Profit odds exclude your returned stake: a 10-credit win at 2:1
  returns 30 total (20 profit + 10 stake). A push returns the stake;
  a loss returns nothing. Slots and video poker paytables use total-return
  multipliers; the shared payout receipt uses profit odds instead.
  Fractional table-game returns round down to whole credits, except
  craps, which rounds stakes up to exact payout units (commission rounds down).

  Every game uses the same payout receipt: Wager, Staked, Odds, Result, Net.
  All amounts are credits. Returned includes any returned stake; Net is
  Returned minus the stake settled. WIN/LOSS/PUSH describes the game result;
  a winning machine combination can still have zero or negative net profit.
  Varies means there is no single fixed payout rate. Odds marked 'fee' are
  before commission; the actual returned amount and net include that fee.

  Active bets appear as UNRESOLVED with no net amount. They are excluded
  from settled totals and listed in the Active subtotal. Craps free odds
  have their own rows. Slot free-spin features remain unresolved until
  their banked winnings are paid. Failed payments are reported separately;
  a receipt never claims that an uncredited payout has been paid.

  help big6          Dollar wheel, SWORD/SHIELD and unlimited DOUBLE respins.
  help roulette      Number, color and combination bets.
  help racetrack     Voisins, Tiers, Orphelins, Zero and Neighbors.
  help blackjack     Beat the dealer without going over 21.

  Rules and limits vary by table. No bet guarantees a profit.
