Cheaters, Cheaters Everywhere

One of the best all around books on cheating history, from the times of Steamboat cardsharks, to dice pressers in the (then Modern 1973) Las Vegas world of gambling. Many of the methods depicted are obsolete because slot machines and other games have gone to using a computer chip. Even keno is automated now. but it still talks about the elaborate and intricate gaffs that some conman thought up and implemented. Book has pictures too! Not so much of modern techniques, but very interesting and enlightening.
