Synopsis

Learn the low-roller secrets for:

Staying free at hotel-casinos
Beating casino promotions
Eating and drinking on the house
Playing video poker for profit
Getting bumped from airplanes and flying free

Though Jean Scott was well-known to a select few Las Vegas aficionados throughout the '90s, it wasn't until the publication of The Frugal Gambler in 1998 that she became a household name to casino players across the country. Since then, it's likely that no gambling personality has been featured more often in the media than this "Gambling Grandma." Her frequent national publicity, her long-term success in casinos around the world, and the solid low-rolling advantage-play techniques she's divulged along the way have all helped catapult The Frugal Gambler into the ranks of best-selling gambling books.

And now The Frugal Gambler is completely revised and updated. New information includes a completely revamped chapter on video poker, updated coverage of getting the most out of slot clubs, recent examples of exploitable gambling promotions, and a brand new Resources section, identifying the best sources of player information available--from books to software to the Internet.

About this title

About the Author:

At first glance, Jean Scott appears to be what she is--your average 60-something retired English teacher from the Midwest. In her secret life, though, she's the most successful casino low roller in the country. Dubbed the "Queen of Comps" by CBS' "48 Hours," by using slot clubs, taking advantage of promotions and contests, gambling with coupons, and exploiting everything in the casino world that's even remotely vulnerable, Scott has developed a technique for getting everything she wants from the casinos from Las Vegas to Atlantic City. She has been featured on "Dateline," "Hard Copy," "To Tell the Truth," numerous Travel and Discovery channel documentaries, and "48 Hours."
