Back in the late 80's I read Jerry Paterson's best selling book, "BlackJack: A Winner's Hand Book. That Book provided me with an absolute "WOW" factor in playing the multi-deck shoe games. It advanced my knowledge on how to win at Blackjack many levels. Since then I have read every book I can find that Jerry Patterson has written.

After reading his newest Book, Casino Gambling, it's easy to understand why it's also a Best Selling Book on Gambling. This book contains fresh facts on what you need to know about how to play all the major games in today's casinos. The book takes the "mystery" out of Blackjack, Craps, Roulette and other casino games. Jerry addresses all skill levels equally well, amateur to professional, with many thought provoking strategies: Betting, money management, mental preparation, do's & don'ts that are based on proven facts from actual casino play in today's games, from Atlantic City to Las Vegas, including River Boats and Indian Reservation casinos.

I was able to put "Winning Factors" for the multi-deck blackjack game to good use right away after reading the book on my next casino visit.

Craps is covered in depth including all the important betting strategies, the odds payoffs, well structured money management systems and is easy to understand. This book provides a sound strategy, the best I have seen on dice control, for becoming an "advantage" craps player.

Understanding "how to play with an advantage" on Blackjack, Craps and Roulette is very enlightening and I found that the advantage method for each game actually works.

I've been reading the books of Jerry Patterson for some 20 or so years. Over the years, he has consistently delivered fresh and unique approaches to casino gambling which have been very helpful to me. Casino Gambling is no exception. For example, "Winning Factors" for the multi-deck blackjack shoe games is something I can put into use right away.

I especially like the "getting an advantage" theme of the book which is prevalent in the blackjack, craps and roulette chapters. While I'm not a Craps player, the Advantage Craps System has me tempted to go looking for those long forgotten souvenir dice! And I like the fact that in this one book, I now have information I can use in playing any casino table game including casino poker games like Pai Gow and Let It Ride.

Chapter 2, entitled Mental Preparation, should (in my opinion), be read by anyone who ever places any type of wager. The advice given here alone, is worth the price of the book.

Highly recommended.

I have been a recreational gambler for the last 10 years. I have made a dozen or so trips to Atlantic city within this time. I have always played blackjack, and I always seemed to basically break even (or only leave the casino up or down 20 dollars.) I have always been intrigued with the game of craps but found it confusing and the one time that I played, I lost fifty dollars in the the space of about ten or fifteen minutes so I gave up on the game because I didn't know what I was doing. This book took the mystery out of the game! For the first time, I knew what all the markings on the table were and how to bet the game. On one particularly lucrative casino cruise outing I knew exactly what I was doing. I tripled my money at the craps table after reading Mr. Patterson's book. After the casino closed, the other players complemented me on how skillfully I rolled the dice. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I was a beginner. I did, however, turn the table into a hot table with everyone cashing out big. I credit this book with my success and Jerry Patterson has the best systems for winning at a casino.
