Casino Bookstore about slots


What are slots?

A slot machine (American English), poker machine (Australian English), or fruit machine (British English) is a certain type of casino game. Classically, a slot machine is a coin-operated machine with three or more reels that rotate when a lever on the side of the machine is pulled. The machines include a currency detector that validates the coin or money inserted to play. (The slot machine is also known informally as a one-armed bandit because of its appearance.) The machine typically pays off based on patterns of symbols visible on the front of the machine when it stops. Modern computer technology has resulted in many variations on the slot machine concept. Today, slot machines have become one of the most popular attractions in casinos.

How to smile while losing.....
A most enjoyable read. Mr. Scoblete tells you how it is for slot players and you'll smile or laugh out loud while reading his book.....a lot, as a matter of fact. He makes knowing you're probably gonna lose a bit more enjoyable.
A fun and informative look at slots and casinos
My wife bought me this book as a birthday gift. And what a gift.
It's a delightful combination of gambling information and fun.
I laughed from start to finish.

The book revealed a number of insider secrets about today's casino operations and the revolution in traditional reel-spinning and multiline video games. Especially interesting
was the author's revelation about "loose" slots. What a
"loose" slot really is.

The author's account of his slot-themed road trip through
the United States made enjoyable bedside reading. Especially
after a hard day's play at the slots.

If you enjoy a good laugh and wish to learn the absolute latest
about today's casinos and their new generation of slot machines,
this definitely is the book for you.

Warning!!
Warning! This guy could be Michael Moore's roommate. Everything about it was a waste of time and not to mention the money. What kind of desperate loser writes a book about playing slot machines to expound tired liberal beliefs. Worse, the slot information is in rehashed "duh" territory you can find anywhere. All things considered, this could be the worst book ever written about slot playing in the history of gaming. Reading and realizing you spent money for this book is akin to watching your last coin hit two red sevens and a blank.
I'll take the pamphlet
The good news about this book is that it does provide the reader with some good insight about slot machines. The bad news is that the information it contains would fit inside a pamphlet and the rest of the book is filled with lame jokes and enough cliched one liners to fill a dozen cancelled sit-coms.
A Big Disappointment
I waited so long for this book. And when I finally got it, I couldn't be any more disappointed.
First of all, I search on the net for books on this suject. Frank Scoblete's came out as some of the best books on the subject. And this book was on printing but not released yet. I thought "...even better, I am going to get the latest advise..." When I got the book, I found that Scoblete only wrote the Foreword.
The book reminds me one of those yellow Idiot Guides to___ books. Joking around, instead being serious and to the point. And even those guides, after all, give you good information.
There is not any advise that would help to play better at slot machines. Not even information about what machines are better, how to play then, no strategies. Nothing. Just stories of Legato's experience in different casinos in different towns.
Do not waste your money!!!!!
