An unknown chapter of gambling history that begins in "The Golden Age of Las Vegas." The author details how crooked casinos cheat, and describes the people who retaliate against them called crossroaders. He reveals the methods both sides use that he learned from veteran crossroaders who taught him how to beat casinos. It led to adventures throughout the U.S., Europe, and the Caribbean, where there's intrigue, danger, and celebrity. He explains how he and hand-picked friends beat all casino games in every major casino, gambling boat, and cruise ship for decades. They used sleight-of-hand, doctored dice, hi-tech marking inks, and other methods. The author invented a magical sleight-of-hand 21 move that was imperceptible and fooled every 21 dealer, casino boss, and surveillance system he faced. When the casinos eventually discovered his move and realized they couldn't stop it, they changed the rules from pitching the cards face-down to dealing them face-up. A true story, entertaining and informative.
