Summary: This Title is Somewhat Misleading!
Comment: This book starts well; The first three chapters are entitled, 'What the Casinos Won't Tell You', 'How to Avoid Casino Hooks', and 'Getting Even: The Hook Players Set Themselves', and offer some good tips. However, the primary (underlying) premise was DON'T PLAY anything, but Poker!!!!!!! The fourth chapter, 'How to Escape Casino Traps for Slot Players' didn't appeal to me, due to me NOT being a Slot Player. The last 6 chapters (approximately 65% of the book) were full of war stories, primarily about High Rollers and their experiences. Not one useful tip in these chapters! What truly exasperated me was the last chapter 'America's Biggest Casino', which was SOLELY a comparison between casino gambling and Wall Street. While appropriate for a magazine parody, it really was a bummer of an ending. I gave 2 stars SOLELY on the basis of the beginning of the book having some interesting points. Again, the message that this book sent within those pages, was DON'T PLAY. If you are looking to give up gambling, this book is for you. Otherwise, if you're looking for tips on how to play, or behavior within a casino, look elsewhere!
