Synopsis
In American Roulette , Richard Marcus tells his never-before-heard story, of ripping off casinos. The book follows Marcus, along with several of the world's great professional casino cheaters, as he travels from Las Vegas to London and Monte Carlo, pilfering large sums of money from casinos by performing sleight of hand magic tricks with gaming chips. As skilled cheaters, they back up their moves with psychological setups to convince pit bosses that they're watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky, while in fact they're being ripped off blind. With the exploding growth of casino gambling, heightened by Indian reservation and riverboat expansion, more and more elaborate casino cheaters are illegally assaulting the green-felt, getting rich off of novice casino personnel. Richard Marcus's insider story is a window into the hidden world of intriguing personalities and tense situations he encounters as a member of expert casino-cheating teams who use their wits to turn the odds upside down and "earn" millions. American Roulette is a fascinating story not only for those who occasionally casino-gamble, but for everyone with a little larceny in their heart., Richard Marcus arrived in Las Vegas as a young man with $10,000 and a dream of hitting it big at the casinos. In two days, he was broke and living on the streets. He became a card dealer and met his mentor, and within a few short weeks Richard had joined a crew who made their money ripping off the casinos with a wide assortment of tricks of the trade. He spent the next 25 years honing his skills as one of the premier con artists in Las Vegas and the world.
