4.0 out of 5 stars Solid book for all playing levels, March 16, 2003

This review is from: How To Win At Gambling (Paperback)

This is a great title for novices to casinos and pros. It covers more than the rules of the games, breaking down odds, strategy, table etiquette and how certain games are played differently in different parts of the world. The only thing I would have liked to have seen were more diagrams, but a more visual component aside this book helps you get a grasp on games that may have been alluding you...and draining your wallet.

This review is from: How To Win At Gambling, 4th Edition (Paperback)

forget the stupid videos that play all day long in your hotel room, for less than youll lose in one session of slots, you can get a little more in depth info on all the major casino games, from rules to basic strategies. theres a pretty big section devoted to blackjack and craps, both pretty basic info, and the blackjack info is repeated almost verbatim in one of avery's other books. but for 15 bucks, itll get you a lot more prepared for a trip to the casino.
