Anyone know of a great fictional casino book?

[Mike_Hunt]

Has anyone ever written a story about all the secret things that go on in a casino, scams, looking for cheaters, getting high rollers to go busto ect..

Or a non-fiction book that covers these subjects?

Thanks!

Any of the novels by James Swain featuring Tony Valentine.

I haven't read it, but I've heard that "Whale Hunt in the Desert" (by Deke Castleman and Dave Berns) is a very good read.

From what I understand it's all about the casino's hosts getting the big fish into the casinos with their rediculous comps. All you ever wanted to know about being a high-roller.

I enjoyed Bringing Down the House by Ben Mezrich, about an MIT blackjack team.
