A Good one, but not Great July 27, 2001
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This would have been a lot better if it were more complete. It doesn't really cover 'The World'. It had 0 info on any casinoing in Japan or Thailand or any oriental nation. It also wasn't particularly in-depth on Europe. It also didn't cover Australia, but I admit I don't even know if there are really any casinos there :) However, for the areas it DID cover (USA, some European countries, and south of the USA) it did a very good job. Also has some info on gambling in Moscow which I think should be noted since most other books don't mention any specifics about that one. I'd recommend this for anyone traveling with the intent to gamble to one of the areas I listed.
