by Basil Nestor - 1998
Basil Nestor is an author and television producer whose credentials include several documentaries (e.g., Casinos in the Community) on casino gaming in Atlantic City and the Midwest. The "Unofficial Guide" series is designed to give readers basic, comprehensive information; this book follows the series' format, as Nestor incorporates decades of gambling knowledge to give the reader insight into probability, common gambling mistakes, and winning strategies.

Powerful Profits From Slots
by Victor Royer - 2003
Some people just don't get the point. For whatever strange reason, there are people who think that you should be able to "quit your day job" and make money playing slots. In this book, the author makes it plain that slots are machines whose programs provide for a steady house edge. Therefore, mathematically, no slot machine can be played in a manner that would always assure the player of a profit. However, the author also makes it clear that there are "methods", as opposed to "systems", that the knowledgeable, educated, and smart player can use to help win on those slots that offer the best paybacks and winning opportunities. And, he identifies which they are, and shows you how to find them!

on a blackjack team. Casino comps, tournaments, location play,
shuffle tracking, playing in disguise, outwitting
the eye in the sky, and other advantage-play techniques--it's all here. Best of all, the techniques you learn
in BLACKJACK BLUEPRINT can be used part-time as a money-making hobby, just as author Rick Blaine has used them
for years while pursuing a career in finance.
Play Blackjack Like the Pros
By Kevin Blackwood - 2005
Play Blackjack Like the Pros is the requisite introduction to the modern game of blackjack, including high and low stakes casino, shoe games (several decks shuffled together), online, and tournaments. Blackwood begins with the basic rules of play and then moves on to teach his proven card-counting method, broken-down into three levels: novice, recreational, and professional. He also covers camouflaging techniques (it's perfectly legal to count cards, but if the house catches you they will kick you out), money management, and team play. Blackwood includes many stories of his and other professionals' triumphs at the tables and keeps the highly technical language that bogs down most gaming books to an absolute minimum.
