if you can spell "casino" you are much too advanced to waste time reading this. the author is apparently targeting the most uninitiated of casino visitors; however, it is difficult to imagine, with the proliferation of legalized gaming in this country, that any reader could be this wanting. all information in this book is readily accessible in any legalized gambling establishment free of charge and this author must certainly be aware of this fact. spend the $10 on a buffet when you get to Vegas!

I love to watch the poker shows on tv. But I was very unclear as to what and why the players were doing. Just in reading part of one chapter I understand atleast what they were talking about. Big Blind, the button, and so on I am not planning on playing "Professional" poker or spend my money at a casino any time soon. But this book shows you how to not be stupid. If you are a "pro" you are not going to be interested in this book.

This is an interesting book if you want to know the basics of card and table games, but you'll never beat the house. Take your money and gamble it away, don't expect this book to really teach you how to win like it tries to suggest. It's a good book to help you learn the basics, though.

The book is definitely for beginners and thats what I am. I have read other introductory books which, while good, left out important details about how actual play progreses This book gores through gameplay, step by step. The book explained things about poker, for example, which I was confused about. It quickly summerized how to make the best of your poker hand. Recommended.

The previous reviewer is correct when he says this a basic book for the first-time gambler. However, this is what the "Everything" series tries to do. These books will not make you an expert in any particular field. If you know someone who gambles occasionally, for them, this book is perfect. It covers many games and while not getting too in depth, tries to bring up the areas of each game in which to be concerned. Show me any other beginner's gambling book that covers every game any better than this one.
