Summary: How did this get published?
Review: While I'll be the first to admit that this book has some entertaining content in the form or gaming anecdotes and Vegas trivia, I can honestly say it's biggest claim to fame is the HORRIBLE writing style!

I was absolutely floored by the unending samples poor grammar, unclear sentences, pointless or cliche references, obvious self-promotion (at least 4 chapters contain glowing character references for John Gollehon, who just happens to be the publisher of the book...), etc etc. I'm sure this book turned the stomach of any professional editor who happened to crack the cover.

After the first 25 pages, this book had reached "train wreck" status with me - I was compelled to keep reading not for the content but to see how much worse it could possibly get. If you enjoy such literary self-torture, read this book. Otherwise, skip it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST READ
Review: You first should read part 1 (behind the tables w/ green cover), then move on to this book. Between the two books you will receive solid information of what the "insides" of a casino is all about. Most importantly, HOW IT EFFECTS YOU!. Having been on "both sides" of the tables in a casino, these 2 books are real and truthful. If you read the books and then think about how it all works, you can gain and edge on your next trip!.
