Helpful information condensed in a short space, July 29, 2001
Reviewer: Al (Claremont, CA United States)
When I moved, I found this book in my library. I go frequently to southern Nevada, but I no longer have the money to sustain the losses one can incur even if one is a good player at "21." I do enjoy gambling, and had decided to try video poker. I was presently surprised to find that with the information on pp. 43-48, I could turn a machine with a decent payout schedule into a positive expectation. I left Nevada with a net amount higher than I had seen from "21" in quite a while. The information in this book has made me a great fan of video poker played statistically properly.

The Frugal Gambler

Spotlight Reviews
Good intro for the unintiated, March 26, 2002
Reviewer: Keith Watt (Phoenix, AZ USA)
This book gives a fairly good introduction on how to leverage comps if you are a neophyte to the casino world. Instead of insisting you play only her games of preference, she gives advice on how to have a good time while minimizing losses, and advice on how to move to "the next level" if you become more interested in optimizing your play.
While giving expected payoffs for the better paying games (i.e., video poker), no strategies are presented, so if that's what you want look elsewhere. It does serve as a starting point for further research into game strategy, if you wish further information the appendix lists some good sources.
Some of her suggestions are just bizarre, such as asking hotel maids for discarded coupon books, taking doggie bags for leftover food, etc. If you need to go to these extremes to save a buck or two on vacation you are probably better off staying home.
Nothing here is particularly new or groundbreaking, but it will give the clueless a good place to start when they walk into a casino for the first time. Overall it's an enjoyable and easy read, with lots of anecdotal advice, some good, some just silly.
