1.0 out of 5 stars A symplistic presentation of a complex subject., October 24, 1998
By A Customer
This book should be considered for a "young readers" level. After completing (1 hour) you will not have any more practical knowledge on this subject than what you could gain by walking through a casino and observing. At $61.00 this book is overpriced by $55.00 when measured against value. If you are serious about this subject try "Casino Operations Management" by Kilby/Fox (best) or "An Introduction To The Casino Entertainment Industry" by Eade.

5.0 out of 5 stars I needed this for a class...., May 13, 2007
This review is from: Introduction to Casino and Gaming Operations (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I needed this book for a college class. The college books store was charging a fortune for it. My teacher told us to look on Amazon and it was here and saved me quite a bit of money. Thanks Amazon.
