Once you read a certain amount of books on blackjack, it becomes readily apparent when a book is trying to play on a certain aspect of blackjack. Some books start out very academically, and then suddenly turn into sermons on the glory of the Martingdale system. Other books go straight for the throat with a hard-nosed card-counting system.

Casino Games
If you're new to the world of casinos, it's nice to have a book that can break you in to the general ideas behind most of the games available for you to play.

That is where books like Casino Games come in handy.
