The Cardslinger: Memoirs of a Casino Dealer

Robert Wagner

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.
