BeatWebCasinos.com: The Shrewd Player's Guide to Internet Gambling by Bill Haywood

Published in 2000, this is the first book that describes how to beat the Internet casinos at their own game. It is not a get-rich-quick book; it is a book about making an otherwise expensive hobby lucrative. Players who profit from web casinos do so by exploiting promotions. Says Haywood, "You don't beat their games, you beat their marketing departments." Haywood -- a professor at Rutgers University and a former journalist -- details the methods he used over a two year period to average $100 per hour profit, by exploiting Web casinos offers in his spare time.

EDITORS CHOICE: BEST AND ONLY BOOK ON BEATING THE SLOTS
Robbing the One-Armed Bandits by Charles W. Lund

The hottest book of 1999 has been updated. Charles W. Lund does it again with the expanded version of Robbing the One Armed Bandits. He reveals the secrets of the modern casinos slot machines; secrets known to only a handful of players which could be you. The expanded edition covers the 49 machines from his first book, 15 machines from the supplement, PLUS 24 new machines like An American in Paris, Fireworks, Kool Kat, Pay Roll, Pushers and Wild Cherry Bonus Pie.Lund also discusses the value of casino slot clubs, how to search for machines of value, which banking machines to avoid and many more topics of interest for the SERIOUS SLOT PLAYER. Robbing the One Armed Bandits was always good but now it's even better. Editor note: Everything the author says here is true. I routinely make a few bucks off these type of machines on practically every visit to the casino. My biggest jackpot to date was $1175 on a $5 Odyssey machine with "PlayOff" feature. I had invested $475 and showed a profit of $700! If you are one to think that I didn't really have a theoretical advantage on the machine you would be wrong! Lund's research shows that real advantages can be found on the new "banking" machines found in most modern day casinos. This book is also listed under our Casino Security section.
