5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, September 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Slot Machine Answer Book: How They Work, How They've Changed, and How to Overcome the House Advantage (Paperback)
There are two "must have books" on slots. Frank Scoblete's "Break the One Armed Bandits" and now this one. Most slot books insult the readers' intelligence. These two books don't. Grochowski is a very good writer and his explanations of how the machines work and how to approach them are excellent. It is also a very enjoyable book to read as it is written in a question and answer format. You should try to answer the questions yourself in a given section before reading the author's explanations. I recommend this book to all of you who are interested in slots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best slot book ever, August 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Slot Machine Answer Book: How They Work, How They've Changed, and How to Overcome the House Advantage (Paperback)
This is much more than just a guide to how to get the most out of the slots, although it does an admirable job of that. It explains how the slots work, how the odds work, development of the games, where to play for the best paybacks. It's also really easy to read and understand in its question and answer format. It has a cautionary tone and doesn't make promises of untold riches, and yet explains how to get an edge. It tells of some specific beatable games, and yet it recognizes that games come and go, so it concentrates more on explaining the principles of finding beatable games. I find this book just incredibly honest, understandable and valuable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for everyone, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Slot Machine Answer Book: How They Work, How They've Changed, and How to Overcome the House Advantage (Paperback)
This is a really comprehensive book, whether you're looking for fun stuff like where the fruit and bar symbols on slots came from, or looking to bust some myths like whether a slot is ever due for a jackpot, or what to look for in tournaments or slot clubs. Lots of good stuff.
