1.0 out of 5 stars a most dissatisfying read, August 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Everything Casino Gambling Book (Paperback)

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Mildly amusing, September 3, 2008

By	N. Hoff (Portland, OR, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Everything Casino Gambling Book (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars place your bets............for sure, May 2, 2008

By	Reader in Alabama (Alabama) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Everything Casino Gambling Book (Paperback)

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.
