In American Roulette, Richard Marcus tells his
never-before-heard story, of ripping off casinos. The book
follows Marcus, along with several of the world's great
professional casino cheaters, as he travels from Las Vegas
to London and Monte Carlo, pilfering large sums of money
from casinos by performing sleight of hand magic tricks with
gaming chips. As skilled cheaters, they back up their moves
with psychological setups to convince pit bosses that
they're watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky,
while in fact they're being ripped off blind.
With
the exploding growth of casino gambling, heightened by
Indian reservation and riverboat expansion, more and more
elaborate casino cheaters are illegally assaulting the
green-felt, getting rich off of novice casino personnel.
Richard Marcus's insider story is a window into the hidden
world of intriguing personalities and tense situations he
encounters as a member of expert casino-cheating teams who
use their wits to turn the odds upside down and "earn"
millions. American Roulette is a fascinating story
not only for those who occasionally casino-gamble, but for
everyone with a little larceny in their heart.
