Product Description

Las Vegas – the city of lights, the land of dreams, the entertainment capital of the world, the place where time stands still. It’s the last true frontier town in the Old West, only you’re not drawing against the fastest gun in the territory. You’re up against an even more formidable opponent: the casino.

Barney Vinson knows how intimidating the casinos can be – and he knows how to help you overcome your fear. Vinson’s casino career has spanned over 30 years. He has worked as a dice dealer, a boxman, and a casino floor supervisor – and as the official gaming instructor of Caesars Palace, where he taught the fundamentals of all casino games. In Ask Barney!, he provides answers to all your most nagging questions, from gaming strategy to Las Vegas trivia to casino terminology.

You’ll learn:
• The worst and the safest bets in the casino
• The most common mistakes of video poker players
• The proper etiquette for shooting dice
• The most common cheating scams (and what casinos do with suspected cheaters)
• How to find the best free shows in Las Vegas
• And much, much more.
