The innocent-sounding "Winner, winner, chicken dinner" could get you an evil stare in Las Vegas. I should know. As a veteran dealer and floor manager, I've written a book detailing the best, worst, and funniest parts of casino life for anyone who'd like to work in one or is just intrigued by the carnival-like atmosphere. The only one of its kind, The Cardslinger is flush with vignettes about the hilarity, naughtiness, depravity, and revenge that ensue at your average casino. The book is a must read for anyone contemplating working at a casino or who visits a casino regularly. Readers will learn basic terms and how to play many games-as well as how not to be that guy (or gal) everyone hates. I've worked at casinos from Las Vegas to Florida-and yes, Robert Wagner is my real name. Having met more than a million people, I've also worked games with more than a million and a half dollars riding on them. I decided to write The Cardslinger: Memoirs of a Casino Dealer exactly one year after my wife's passing. In it, I wanted to do what I do best, which is make people laugh.

In the Minors, symmetrical arrangements of the suit symbols provide composition around which the scenes are arranged.The depth of Scapini's art history expertise is evident in his lush settings and period costumes. Interesting details, and sometimes-humorous references, are cleverly imbedded in the artwork, with many of the cards depicting historical figures, for example, Rasputin as the Knight of Cups. Readers will easily relate to the universal situations revealed in the cards, for pleasurable and insightful readings.
