This review is from: Casino Crimes and Scams (Paperback)

I have been in this industry for almost 20 years, and in my position always on the lookout for the scammer. However, you don't find many people who rival Ralph Taylor's knowledge in this field. His apprehension and understanding of the gaming industry enabled him to always be two steps ahead of the scammer.Every day there are more crimes and scams sucessufully attempted in the casino's. It's too bad Ralph retired we don't have enough people with his expertise. He was truly the sentinel of Crimes and Scams in the Casino Industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real inside look at casino crimes and investigations, April 9, 2004

This review is from: Casino Crimes and Scams (Paperback)

I like to watch CSI and Law & Order on TV. While I was reading about how each crime occurred I learned from begining to end how actual thefts were committed and the process used to catch the bad guys which was just like episodes from my favorite TV shows.
I highly recommend to anyone that ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes at casinos.

I have worked in the gaming industry for over 10 years ,but until I read this book I was completely in the dark about the complex goings on everyday in my workplace. I now think of my casino as a small town.I have a new respect for the security folk whom I once though were just there to expel an unruly drunk.I realize a casino provides a criminal mind a new playground with visitors from all over the world with money to spend and the only thing on the tourist mind is having a good time and therefore have their guard down.The mere fact that the average Joe sees none of the this is a true attribute to the men and women who provide us protection as we enjoy our gaming experiance.This book opened my eyes and I learned something on every page.Great work Ralph Taylor
