An excellent overall introduction to Casino Gambling. Written in a very clear manner - explains the rules, prodedures, pitfalls, and basic strategies of Blackjack, Craps, Baccarat, Roulette, Slot Machines, Keno and other games. The section on Basic Blackjack strategy, in particular, is more understandable and useful than many "blackjack only" books on the subject. Also particularly recommended is the chapter on "Gambling, Luck, and Probability" - especially the part about Independent Trials. A must-read before any Las Vegas vacation. ( )
