Las Vegas is the casino capital of the world. Millions of gamblers and billions of dollars pass through its glittering, neon‐lit attractions. How does it operate? Where, if anywhere, are the odds in the gambler's favour? From blackjack to the high‐technology slot machines that have replaced the old‐time one‐armed bandits, Bill Eadington examines probabilities, prices and casino games on offer both on and off the Las Vegas strip and tells us how and where to gain most—or, more accurately, to lose least—in Las Vegas.
