Summary

"Dummy Up and Deal offers a candid insider's view of the Las Vegas casino industry from the games dealer's side of the table, revealing a world rife with cynicism and bitterness, but also brightened by moments of humor, kindness, humanity, pride, and professional solidarity. Told in the voices of dozens of dealers, male and female, young and old, it tells of the work, the players, and the after-house life. For anyone who has ever wondered about the people who make their living in the casinos' fantasy and glitz, this book is essential reading - the colorful, unvarnished account of a keen observer who has seen it all, any times, but who has never lost his capacity to wonder, to sympathize, and to laugh."--BOOK JACKET.
