AUTHOR'S NOTE


The object of this book is to reveal to the public the ingenious tricks, schemes and apparatus used by gamblers and 'get-rich-quick fakirs' to defraud the gullible of their money.
I believe, a general knowledge of the underhanded methods of these vultures will do more towards 'killing the game' than any act of legislature.
The Author

The book goes in great detail on how the slot machines beat the public. It also shows ways and devices in which one could beat the machines (of the day). Many secrets are revealed on how gamblers win at card games. There are many details given on the many ways in which different card decks are marked. There are many pages of illustrations of ingenious devices used in cheating at card games. There is information on how roulette wheels are rigged.

There is much detail about loaded dice, gambling tops, and many more table gambling games. It tells how to win at them. There is information on how cheating is done in Keno. There are many spindle games pictured and how you are cheated on them as well. The same goes for many other gambling games including ball games. There is an entire section on many various frauds and schemes to rid you of your money.
