In Burning the Tables in Las Vegas, Ian Andersen, author of the classic Turning the Tables on Las Vegas and one of the most successful high-stakes blackjack players of all time, shares his personal program for success at blackjack, poker, and life. This second edition contains three important new chapters: one on the use of the surrender option at blackjack as a camouflage technique, one on green-chip play for medium rollers; and one on understanding casino psychology. The "Crazy Surrender" chapter expands Andersen's Ultimate Gambit and adds another dimension to his technique of using elements of mathematics and psychology to remain below the casino radar. This new edition also contains a Foreword by blackjack legend Stanford Wong.

Die in Neuenburg ansässigen Architekten Geninsaca Delefortrie machen seit einigen Jahren mit ihren Projekten auf sich aufmerksam. Die Art und Weise der Projektrealisierung, die Geninasca Delefortrie betreiben ist ebenso ungewöhnlich wie sie einen Weg jenseits der gängigen Akquiseformen weist. Spätestens mit dem Bau des neuen städtische Fussballstadion in der Maladière, drang das Büro auch in das Bewusstsein einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit. Das Büro ist damit nicht nur zur treibenden Kraft der lokalen Architekturszene geworden, sondern, viel wichtiger, auch der Stadtentwicklung und damit Beispiel, wie Architektur bewusst städtische Entwicklungsprozesse beeinflussen und auch lenken kann. Die Architekten sind dabei – das ist das besondere– ihre eigenen Auftraggeber: Sie definieren städtische Grundstücke mit Entwicklungspotenzial und gehen dann auf die Städte zu, um gemeinsam mit den zuständigen Ämtern Bebauungspläne wie Konzept für die Bebauung zu entwickeln. Mit der ersten Monografie über Geninasca Delefortrie wird nun erstmals ihr beeindruckendes Werk einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit präsentiert.

The true story behind the Martin Scorsese film: A “riveting . . . account of how organized crime looted the casinos they controlled” (Kirkus Reviews). Focusing on Chicago bookie Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal and his partner, Anthony Spilotro, and drawing on extensive, in-depth interviews, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of the Mafia classic Wiseguy—basis for the film Goodfellas—Nicholas Pileggi reveals how the pair worked together to oversee Las Vegas casino operations for the mob. He unearths how Teamster pension funds were used to take control of the Stardust and Tropicana and how Spilotro simultaneously ran a crew of jewel thieves nicknamed the “Hole in the Wall Gang.” For years, these gangsters kept a stranglehold on Sin City’s brightly lit nightspots, skimming millions in cash for their bosses. But the elaborate scheme began to crumble when Rosenthal’s disproportionate ambitions drove him to make mistakes. Spilotro made an error of his own, falling for his partner’s wife, a troubled showgirl named Geri. It would all lead to betrayal, a wide-ranging FBI investigation, multiple convictions, and the end of the Mafia’s longstanding grip on the multibillion-dollar gaming oasis in the midst of the Nevada desert. Casino is a journey into 1970s Las Vegas and a riveting nonfiction account of the world portrayed in the Martin Scorsese film of the same name, starring Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. A story of adultery, murder, infighting, and revenge, this “fascinating true-crime Mob history” is a high-stakes page-turner (Booklist).

The #1 national bestseller, now a major motion picture, 21—the amazing inside story about a gambling ring of M.I.T. students who beat the system in Vegas—and lived to tell how. Robin Hood meets the Rat Pack when the best and the brightest of M.I.T.’s math students and engineers take up blackjack under the guidance of an eccentric mastermind. Their small blackjack club develops from an experiment in counting cards on M.I.T.’s campus into a ring of card savants with a system for playing large and winning big. In less than two years they take some of the world’s most sophisticated casinos for more than three million dollars. But their success also brings with it the formidable ire of casino owners and launches them into the seedy underworld of corporate Vegas with its private investigators and other violent heavies.
