Produktbeschreibung
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 explains how he and his hand-picked friends beat all games in casinos, gambling boats, and cruise ships for decades. They used sleight-of-hand, doctored dice, hi-tech marking inks, and other methods. Robert invented a magical sleight-of-hand 21 move that was imperceptible and fooled every 21 dealer, casino boss, and surveillance system he faced. When his move was discovered, the casinos realized they couldn't stop it, so they changed from pitching the cards face-down to dealing them face-up. A true story, entertaining and informative.

Autorenporträt
Robert Asiel left his home in Jersey City, New Jersey, as a sixteen-year-old seeking adventure and a new life. He headed west on a Greyhound bus for Las Vegas where he worked as a lifeguard for several months then moved into the fast lane as a 21 dealer using a fake ID. He soon became a successful crossroader beating the crooked casinos until he was drafted into the U.S. Army. After a tour in Vietnam, he returned to a long crossroading career. Today, he lives near his family with his dog, Scout.
