The Real Casino (2001)
Customer Reviews
great doc about the mob, April 21, 2005
Reviewer: film lvr "film lvr" (LA, CA)
I feel I was let in on a secret I didn't want to know about. Compelling, disturbing, and ultimately sad to see the reality behind these damaged people. But, still peppered with a few humurous dashes like the "Rat a Tat Tat" cutaway. For a doc pretty stylish in both the camera work and editing. The cinematography was very well presented. Fast scene changes evoked the warning of watch your back. Unexpected movements in the film highlighted the dangerous and violent theme of mobster life. Fitting the topic, the film was also a little dark. Shifts from color to black and white were dramatic and well placed. The Real Casino was an interesting and entertaining look at how real mobsters rationalize their environment and justify their lives. A must for anyone into mob lore. Check out both the deleted scenes and the making of...

Play to Win! The Insider's Guide to Casino Gambling (1992)
Editorial Reviews
Play to Win provides serious yet entertaining lessons to help hopeful gamblers arrive at the casino with practical knowledge about the various games they'll encounter. The gaming instructor at the Las Vegas Hilton, Sam Micco, serves as the host, getting things to a lively start with detailed lessons at the blackjack table, covering the basic rules and giving some valuable pointers on strategy. The same basic format is followed for other games, including roulette, craps, baccarat, and even slot machines.
The expert instructors offer a lot of information, and having these detailed lessons on video allows one to rewind and review, something that will be necessary for anyone serious about ingesting all the material presented. Outlines of critical information, such as the rules of various games, appear onscreen in written form, which is especially helpful for games with complicated rules. Despite the video's optimistic title, the instructors are conscientious about noting how even the most skilled players can only narrow the odds, and the house will always have an advantage. But their comments on common mistakes beginners make at the gaming tables are invaluable, and even experienced players can benefit from the wealth of material presented. --Robert J. McNamara

Casino Power Plays (2003)
by Denny L. Border
Editorial Reviews
From the Actor
Some explanations begin with the basics, but my methods are far from elemental, and will work for players at all levels. These strategies are based on decades of experience as a horseplayer and casino gambler. The focus is on finding casinos and games that offer the best chance for the player. Genuine winning opportunities. The "Wire 'Em and Win" philosophy is that of risking a little to win a lot. The gambling game of Video Poker is rapidly increasing in popularity and Gary Walker offers some solid advice in a game where the knowledgeable player's chances of winning can become quite good. Other highlights include a trip out to the track where we actually play a couple of live races. And in closing, my dangerous (for the house) roulette system is the best you will find.
