American Roulette: How I Turned the Odds Upside Down---My Wild Twenty-Five-Year Ride Ripping Off the World's Casinos Paperback - 2004

First line

WHEN IT FIRST HIT ME THAT I HAD PROBABLY DISCOVERED THE BEST Cheating move in the history of casino gambling, one that appeared absolutely flawless, with minimal risk-even when getting caught red-handed-I experienced a feeling of euphoria that would have been complete had it not been for the sliver of doubt that naturally crept into my brain.

Praise for American Roulette:

American Roulette provides the titillating thrill of being welcomed inside a forbidden world. As fun as it is revealing.
- Michael Konik, author of Telling Lies and Getting Paid and The Man with the $100,000 Breasts and other Gambling Stories

Richard Marcus is that rarest of tour guides: a real insider who offers an unvarnished account of how he cheated casinos out of tidy little piles of money....a rare tell-all.
- Timothy L. O'Brien, author of Bad Bet: The Inside Story of the Glamour, Glitz, and Danger of America's Gambling Industry

So much fun to read that this book deserves to be in two sections of every bookstore - Crime and Magic. One of the most original books on gambling and Las Vegas that I've ever read.
- Bert Randolph Sugar, author of The Caesars Palace Sports Book of Betting
