Summary: Free Lunch Vegas Style
Comment: The convoluted premise of the book is that you should obnoxiously badger the casino into giving you comps while endlessly playing Blackjack and feigning large bets. Assuming you have no shame and find a casino that will put up with such antics, the sophomoric author promises that your expected mathematical losses will eventually be offset by getting free meals and hotel rooms. A lot of sordid effort for a small return - bon appetite!

Summary: A Little Helpful And Funny
Comment: This book is a good read for any gambler with limited knowledge of casino operations and marketing. Many of the reviewers pan the book for some of his comp hustling ways, but he explains that not all things in the book are for everyone. Max also states that it is for people that would have gambled anyway and were getting nothing or very little. I think this book benefits gamblers that are currently not comped and don't know how to get comps. Max is a bit overboard in his ways, but it is a good primer for people that don't know how casino comps work. Most people play and get nothing because they don't know they can get something. I have friends that I gambled with many years ago, but they don't go very often anymore. These friends are in significantly higher income brackets now and still don't get (or ask for) comps for their higher action during the few trips they make to casinos. This book would be very helpful to them.
The one knock against the book is when Max writes if a game becomes a "magilla," to leave because too many eyes will be on the game. If black chips are flying at a table, I think most people would stop comp hustling and get in on the winning!

Summary: Entertaining but Not Enlightening
Comment: I guess you really need to be a high roller to get results with this book. Bottom line is that when you're laying down big money you don't need to seek out comps too actively. For us little guys there were a few tips and tricks, but nothing life-changing.
