This review is from: Casino Games (Paperback)

In the 160 pages of Casino Games Bill Friedman presents all one needs to know to master the usual casino table games. The blackjack section presents the best playing strategy short of card counting. Craps is graphically explained in the clearest fashion--the rationale for and the method of "taking the odds" are presented in crystal-clear language and illustration.

Many books discuss in an amusing way gambling lore. Some present the most fundamental facts of table games in hyperbolic language. Friedman's Casino Games is all that one can know, and all one ever needs to know. Classic!

If you're just learning about casino gambling this book is very concise. Even as an experienced gambler I would recommend it. I have both the 1973 and the 1996 versions and I like them both and would reccommend them both, particularly to someone who was just learning about casino gambling.
