For someone with little or no background in casino security, this is a good book. it isn't very detailed for someone with more knowledge.

4.0 out of 5 stars A broad overview, October 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Casino Surveillance and Security: 150 Things You Should Know (Paperback)
This is a very good book on the subject. The information is limited or rather broad, however with so much to cover it is understandable. I've been in surveillance for 7-8 yrs. I was able to learn and refreshed my knowledge. It is defintely time well spent and a bargain price compaired to other surveillance training.
