This review is from: 1000 Best Casino Gambling Secrets (Paperback)

for an absolute beginner or for a seasoned gambler, this book is easy to understand and is full of useful tips. the book is written in a numbered order 1 - 1000, with the tips broken down into chapters or sections pertaining to each facet of the gaming industry. I found myself reading this book two times over trying to remember as many tips as I could. A must for any first time casino tripper!

Bought this book on the recommendation of Frank Schoebete (not sure this is the correct spelling of his last name), who is a gambling authority who said in his online newsletter column that this was one of, if not the only such type book he would recommend.

This book was very easy to read. I was able to complete it before my trip to Vegas. I had never been in a Casino before and it covered all the different games and a basic strategy for each. I would have been completely lost stepping into a casino without reading this book first. I was able to play longer without losing a lot of money. It also gives tips on money management so we really had a good time without going away broke. I was still able to buy lots of souvenirs for my family. My girlfriend won $60 on a nickel slot machine. Our husbands tried playing the craps table and on 2 different days they started out with $5 and left the table with $100. Plus he lists other valuable resources to check out for more detailed information based on your favorite game. I highly recommend this book as an overview for first timers to Vegas. All the Do's and Don'ts were important as well. Thanks for an enjoyable Vegas experience!
