Summary: An Easy, Interesting, Valuable Read
Comment: I went through about 20 books at the mega book store and found this one. Although there are many different games, I wanted the fundamentals on SLOTS, VIDEO POKER, and CRAPS.
This book examines far more games than what I wanted.
The writing is easy to read, interesting, and helpful. My wife and I have visited casinos a few times. We went to Biloxi, MS last week to see The Eagles in concert (fabulous!) and went to some of the casinos. I got this book before going. My wife is really only interested in slots.
The times we gambled before, we were completely ignorant. THAT is how the casinos make so much money! This time, we walked in with an entirely different understanding and attitude.
Based on the slot machine fundamentals we learned, we played at 3 different casinos for about 6 hours. Each play was with $40-$60, at one machine playing together :). That is a little low, I'd prefer $100 bankroll. We played quarter slots only, one at a time. Although with $100+, I'd play max coins. Our purpose was totally entertainment, have fun together, and not be rushed.
Because of the book, we knew how to evaluate and understand the different machines, and where to look for the looser machines. That is part of the fun.
We left up $12, had quite a few drinks, did some people watching, and had a great time.
Our favorite casinos in Biloxi were the Grand Casinos in both Biloxi and Gulfport, about 10 miles apart. Each has a HUGE non-smoking slot area. How nice!

Summary: Insider Information
Comment: As a layman, that is non-professional and occasional gambler, (after all, I live a stone's throw from Las Vegas!)my curiosity was piqued by the fact that some people seem to have some sort of psychic insight into gaming. How did they do it? Could I do it myself?
I asked a woman, a "high-roller," how she always seemed to cash in on the jackpots. "Oh," she said, " you just go to the new machines." Wow! But how do you know which ones are new? "You just know." I'm sorry, I'm too pragmatic for such an airy answer.
However, I did find what I was looking for in the "Unofficial Guide to Casino Gambling."
I'm still not a millionaire, but I'll tell you I have a lot more fun knowing some of the insider information than I ever did just playing blindly and not knowing what I was really doing wrong.
Read it. You'll love it.

Summary: Complete and Easy to Use
Comment: This guide was what I was looking for -- a complete, easy to use (and easy to carry) book on the math and best methods of casino gambling plus information about casino operations and management (I would like to have had more in this area, but what is there is good). I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks the title fits what they're looking for...
