Top 10 casino books- online casino reviews for US players.

3# Fast Company - Jon Bradshaw

A real classic. Bradshaw profiles 6 professional gamblers in an attempt to understand what drives them, and what marks out the winners from the loosers.

Written in a loose yet effective style, I found this book hard to put down.

Having it on your book shelf shows real class.

5# Jonny Magic And The Card Shark Kids
- David Kushner

The story of how a intelligent yet bullied looser of a kid, who in time turns into sharp, professional gambler.

A real underdog story that has you cheering along the whole way.

Sharp, interesting and has you cheering to the end.

6# Whale Hunt In The Desert - Deke Castleman

An interesting read on high rollers and the handling of them behind the scenes in 90’s Vegas.

Entertaining and witty, it tells the tales of how casinos attempt to keep high rollers happy, and more importantly how to keep coming back!

You won’t belive some of the things they get up to!

7# Dice Angel - Brian Rouff

Brian Rouff’s first novel, based in Vegas has you laughing out loud at the wise cracking lead character Jimmy Delaney.

Jimmy’s business is going down the pan, and is being chased by the IRS.

Guess where he ends up…in the casinos of Vegas. A real page turner.

8# The Counter - Kevin Blackwood

If you want to see what the life of a professional gambler is like then this is the book to read.

It’s the type of stuff movies are made of…and with Hollywoods interest in anything gambling at the moment, then it wouldn’t surprise me to see this turned into a blockbuster movie in the near future.

Read it before it hits the big screen!

9# God Doesn't Shoot Craps - R. Armstrong

Don’t let the strange title put you off this book. This is a great story of grafter, Danny Pellegrino, who goes into business with an inventor who has come up with an unbeatable craps system.

Armed with the details of the system, Danny decides to make it on his own, only for the Mob to be 2 paces behind him.

A witty and entertaining debut novel by Richard Armstrong.

10# Casino - Martin Scorsese, Nicolas Pileggi

The book that was used as a basis of the 1995 movie ‘Casino’.

If you are interested in the Mob and enjoyed the movie, then get hold of a copy of this.

Written together by Martin Scorsese (who went on to direct the film) and Nicolas Pileggi (who wrote the best selling book ‘Wiseguy’), the book certainly matches the movie for pace, violence and ruthlessness.

Interesting and informative.
