It provides background information, explaining the history and environment of the casino, outlining etiquette and even explaining how to set a budget. It will also provide a guide to all the games, including not only the most popular (Roulette, Blackjack, Poker), but also the more obscure games such as Two-up and even how to play the slot machines effectively. Combining the author's insider expertise with practical strategies, indispensable tips and a full glossary, this is the only up-to-date guide of its kind, and is primed to take advantage of the dramatic changes about to occur in the world of the casino gambler.
With an estimated 50 million poker players in the US and 100 million worldwide, and the immense popularity of internet poker, this new and fully updated edition is perfectly timed.

It not only gives the unique perspective of a former dealer but the new edition also feature significantly more coverage of internet poker, and more useful strategies such as how to bluff properly, and what your body language says about your hand.
