“How to cheat their subtle traps and win”, the book by Frederic Burstberg;
Some booksellers or even internet reviews may point out that this book on online casinos is not recommended for high rollers. Accessible on Kindle, this work of research proposed by Éditions Broché allows you to take note of certain manipulations of the casinos to invite you to play longer, bigger, and sometimes to put you in danger.
It’s no secret that the gambling business is a mixture of two inseparable terms: entertainment, which is particularly attractive to millions of gamblers around the world, and money, which encourages players to hit the jackpot on slot machines, or in this case roulette, as described by Frédéric Burstberg, but without ever forgetting that the house always wins.
In the course of the chapters, the author reveals a few traps to avoid, a few tricks to try to win, and above all, a certain methodology for winning at roulette. You’ll see that it’s not the way you play that’s important, but rather the state of mind you need to have around the casinos depicted in this book.

“Caribbean blackjack “, the book by Valerie Lieko
Literary work delivered in four volumes, the first story of Black Jack Caraïbe is titled La Dame De Coeur and was released in 2015. This is the first series of novels of the author Valerie Lieko, far from being used to writing, but rather to travel. She delivers through this work the darkest traditions emerging from the Caribbean on the island of St. Martin. The story of Andrew Brooks takes place there, which is a blackjack dealer by night and is attracted to the strange Soledad de la Cruz by day. Andrew’s Native American origins will be awakened by contact with this traditional and sometimes tribal population. The mystical events beyond the fantastic border will make for a rather dark intrigue, with a subtle mix of genres and certain cards around blackjack.
While there is no shortage of poker fiction, the experience of some of the players can also be very helpful. With the two references we suggest, you will develop a certain methodology advocated around these casino books and stories that will change your perception of the card game, which is not always about glory and success.
