I love Blackjack, but I hate trying to learn how to count cards. Besides if I got any good at counting cards, the Casinos would just throw me out anyway. These 2 books introduced me a new, simple, system that so far has been successful. It took a day or two to master, but after that, I have been a winner more times than a loser.

Most importantly, I learned how to know when to quit for the day and actually leave with my winnings. An easy read and easy to understand. Book II helped me know how to get some of the amazing freebies the Casinos lavish on players.

I thought this book really followed through with any questions people might have had after the first book. It is sectioned off: How to play in a tournament, intimidation and how to deal with it, advanced playing, etc. Also a section for all of you that want to make a living playing blackjack and the needed bankrolls to sustain your lifestyle. A great book.

By using george's philosophy,I not only have made a lot of extra money for myself,but I am amazed by what I can get out of the casino for free.Most times they come to me and ask me if I need anything.I get free cigarettes,drinks,rooms,shows,money to spend in gift shop,etc.The system is wonderful,everyone should try it,it works.

Ever since I first stepped into a casino, I always thought it would be useful to find a book or a guide that would provide an inside peek into the hidden and understated apsects of the casino world. George Pappadopoulos has written such a book. And in one pleasant read, anyone interested in really playing the casino game will find themselves winning - at all levels- very quickly.

Mr. Pappadopoulos' first book allowed me to enjoy Black Jack as a table experience. It gave me the confidence I needed and some extra spending money.

This book broadens the experience to include the whole casino and take advantage of its perks ("comps" in casino jargon).

Definitely worth much, much more than the cost of the book.

His easy writing style make his insights and experiences easy to grasp and internalize.

I thought his first book was a great help but this is even better. Buy them both! George is a great guy and I appreciate how he shares his knowledge with us. Super job, George. This book is well worth the money!

The section on freebies is worth the price of the book alone! I picked up George's book in Vegas and read it on the way home, only to discover I could have saved at least $... on my trip. If you want to know how to get free stuff, you need this book. It's all there for the asking, IF you know who to ask.

This was a real trip. I had first been to Vegas when it was "Sin City" and about anything you could ask for was free. Then I hadn't been back for a number of years. I was shocked to discover no only was there no more 99-cent stake and eggs or 2-for-1 nights stays at the casino. They were now like $100-200 a night and the most off stage entertainment was $60 a ticket.

What I learned on my recent trip from this book is there are still freebies; however, getting them is...well...a gamble. :)

Using the startigies, I was able to see Cirque from the 3rd row for $15. It would have normally been a $180-ticket. And I didn't break any laws or suffer a scalper.

Get this book, if you do just one thing it'll have paid you back.

The Hidden Secrets must have been left out of my copy of the book.
