The Unexpected Gambler: A History of Casinos Cheating the Public and One Gambler's Revenge

An unknown chapter of gambling history that begins in "The Golden Age of Las Vegas." The author details how crooked casinos cheat and describes the people who retaliate against them called crossroaders. He explains how he and his hand-picked friends beat all games in casinos, gambling boats, and cruise ships for decades. They used sleight-of-hand, doctored dice, hi-tech marking inks, and other methods. Robert invented a magical sleight-of-hand 21 move that was imperceptible and fooled every 21 dealer, casino boss, and surveillance system he faced. When his move was discovered, the casinos realized they couldn't stop it, so they changed from pitching the cards face-down to dealing them face-up. A true story, entertaining and informative.
