I was a little disappointed in the fact Mr. Lund only reviewed "banking slots". I perhaps should have known that advantageous slots were slots HE considered advantageous, which is poor simply because there are many, many more slots available to profit from. Typically, I stay away from the "bank slots" simply because you HAVE to find the right machine, right conditions, think about it, and spend a good amount of time for a seemingly small profit. He didn't outline any games as a good bet, he only told strategies and which games to not play. I have read multiple books on gambling, and didn't find anything worth while in this book. I suggest reading a basic overview gambling book ( basic strategy ) and couple that with a few books on the specific games you like. Don't waste your time with this one.

I've just arrived to the casino and the palms Of my hands are slightly moist with anticipation. Which machine do I choose tonight. Hmmm? All games require a strategy, a game plan. Without one the chances of losing are great. When I purchased this book I was plesantly surprised. I don't gamble often but Robbing the One Armed Bandits was informative, easy to understand, and generally interesting. There are many slot machines out there to play but the question is which one, where, and when will it pay out?Although the book concentrates on Banking slots, the methodology in choosing a winning machine is well thought out. Like any game having knowledge is to your advantage. This book helps you to learn a strategy, which increases your chances of winning. If you are interested in learning a comprehensive method to win against Banking Slot machines then this book is definently the one to get. Since reading this book I am not as bewildered when I enter the casino. I feel armed and ready. I'm Banking it In!

The truth is that you can only win at the slots dictated byMr. Lund. There are no other strategies for non-banking slot machines because they are unbeatable. Lund actually gives the player at certain types of slot machines if you play by the rules given. Apparently having to "think about it" is too much for the reviewer below me, but personally I am excited at the opportuntiy to play slots that can be beaten.

On the negative side, Lund doesn't do a great job of explaining his methods, and although I know that his analysis of machines accurately predicts the ones that can be beaten, he needs to do more research to get a greater exactitude. The good news is that he frequently publishes a supplement to this book in order to keep it up to date.

This book does not give the reader much of an advantage to rob the one arm bandits, unless a sledge hammer is taken to the casino. Lund does not outline any kind of a money management technique which is often implemented by most casino gambling authors. He concentrates on slot machines that are unpopular compared to the overall selection in most casinos. Most importantly he outlines strategies that try to put the player ahead by a pocket full of coins, rather than the jackpots that all slot players strive toward. Searching aimlessly for machines that offer a few more units in a bonus payout as Lund advises, will not allow a player any advantage over another in the long run. Although Lund does provide some safety tips to all players when feasting on slot machines, a strategy to break the one arm bandits is nonexistent in this book.
