Summary: Most concise and comprehensive book on gaming
Review: I really like this book and have recommended it to others. It covers all the basic casino games. The descriptions are clear and concise. It is small enough that you can even put it in a coat pocket for a trip to the casino.Yes, there are other books that tell you much more (in my opinion, way too much more) about one certain game or a certain few games. I have found no other book that covers so much in such a straightforward manner. I'm a pretty smart guy. Just tell me the rules and the basic strategy and I can figure things out. I don't need to be told how stupid I am if I ever even think about playing Let It Ride or Caribbean Stud. I don't need to hear "war stories" about how the author made his living gambling and why his "system" is so great. I don't need a treatise on Probability and Statistics. (I have a degree in Mathematics, thank you). This book doesn't bore you with any of those things. It gives you the facts and leaves it up to you to decide how to gamble. In addition to the rules and basic strategy there are straightforward tips on etiquette, interacting with the dealer, and tipping. PS- In second place, I would put the Fodor's guide to Las Vegas.

Summary: Helpful information condensed in a short space
Review: When I moved, I found this book in my library. I go frequently to southern Nevada, but I no longer have the money to sustain the losses one can incur even if one is a good player at "21." I do enjoy gambling, and had decided to try video poker. I was presently surprised to find that with the information on pp. 43-48, I could turn a machine with a decent payout schedule into a positive expectation. I left Nevada with a net amount higher than I had seen from "21" in quite a while. The information in this book has made me a great fan of video poker played statistically properly.

Summary: These are Winning Tips!
Review: Whether you are embarking on that Monte Carlo night in your home town or a livin' it up Las Vegas gampage, this is a book to get! The author covers several areas from Slots, to the table games, including one of my favourites, Roulette. Awareness is key, why learn the expensive way? Making rookie mistakes learning by paying through the nose. Get educated and pick up some great tips and understand the rules. Well written and worth it, you'll spend more on 2 minutes in blackjack or 5 minutes at slots. You won't have the odds against you with this book.
