Summary: Here are some reviews that appeared in the print media:
Review: "In Bold Card Play: Best Strategies for Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride and Three Card Poker, Frank Scoblete tells us how to play three new 'house-friendly' games so that the casino edge is decreased to a minimum and our personal satisfaction, playing time, and potential profit expectation is increased to the maximum. Bold Card Play is another fine example of Scoblete's profound understanding of casino gaming!"

...Walter Thomason, gaming columnist and author of The Experts' Guide to Casino Games and Blackjack for the Clueless.

"In Bold Card Play, Scoblete details how to play the games and the best strategies for minimizing the house edge. What sets this book apart is its discussion of necessary bankroll to play and money management. In Bold Card Play, he tells you how to stretch your play, making it more likely that you'll still be in the action if the miracle hand hits. Like all of Scoblete's books, it is accurate, informative and entertaining. If you play Caribbean Stud, Let It Ride or Three Card Poker, or would like to learn, this is the book for you!"

...John Grochowski, gaming columnist and author of Casino Answer Book!

"America's premier gaming writer has done it again with his latest book. You'll find sound playing and betting advice for three of the casino's newest games that will lower the odds and give you a better shot at winning. This book is enjoyable and fun to read, like all of Scoblete's books, and you'll get the best advice on how to play these popular casino games."

...Henry Tamburin, gaming columnist and bestselling author of Henry Tamburin on Casino Gambling: The Best of the Best! and Reference Guide to Casino Gambling

"Scoblete's latest effort is a continuation of the standard of excellence he achieved with his other best-selling books, but don't let the title fool you. There's a lot more to this work than strategies for card games. It's a breezy and informative read for all fans of casino gambling. In his section on money-management, Scoblete takes a subject that has nearly been beaten to death and offers refreshing approaches and rock-solid advice on ways to make your money last longer and ways to take best advantage of winning sessions and to make sure you capitalize on profit opportunities. Even if you aren't interested in the title subject, Scoblete's book is worth reading for his insights into other intriguing aspects of casino gambling!"

...John Brokopp, gaming columnist, The Daily Southtown

Summary: These Games Need the Best Strategies
Review: All three games in this book have heavy house edges if you don't know the proper strategies. Even with the proper strategies, you face an uphill battle. Scoblete has done a masterful job of research, just as he does for all his books, and he shows you the very best ways to approach these three new games. The book is enjoyable to read as well because Scoblete is a terrific writer.

Summary: bold card play: best strategies for carribean stud, let it r
Review: I am normally very impressed by the gaming books Frank Scoblete has written. However, I was very disappointed in this particular book because it had very liitle substantive, practical advice you come to expect from his books. In addition, there is a glaring mistake in the Three Card Poker section where he discusses the payout schedule (odds) for "Ante" and "Pair Plus" bets. Specifically, the author list tables of payout schedules that do not correspond to the writtten text (shame on the author as well as the editors!). This made for a very confusing and frustrating read and tempted me to go back to the bookstore for a refund.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Helped Me a Lot
Review: I like to play the new games that the casinos have introduced because you have a chance to win a lot of money. I also recognize that casinos have not introduced these games to make me money but to make them money. Scoblete's book helped me to learn the right strategies to keep the house edge low and it was also a very entertaininglook at three of the popular new games. Scoblete first explains how each game is played and then explains how the house edge is for various playing methods. He then explains his own Bold Card Play strategies which do cut the edges considerably. He has a really great section on the various types of systems people try to employ against casino games and he also has excellent information on how to get the most in comps for the least risk. He is an excellent writer and this book is must reading if you want to play these new games.

Rating: 5 stars
