In the spring of 2004, as he neared the end of his reign as a Washington superlobbyist, "casino" Jack Abramoff became engrossed in some appropriate reading material. He carefully read the true-crime memoir "American Roulette: How I Turned the Odds Upside Down - My Wild Twenty-Five-Year Ride Ripping Off the World's Casinos." The book, a raw glimpse into the underworld of professional casino cheaters, elicited praise from Abramoff: "It was really an entertaining read."
The book's author, Richard Marcus, whose Web site touts his services as a criminal analyst, said: "I've seen guys like Abramoff all of my life - a very sharp guy who ruined himself, threw away all of his talents through pure unchecked greed."

My book, AMERICAN ROULETTE (St. Martin's Press), tells the true story of my twenty-five years as a professional casino cheater. Upon arriving in Las Vegas, in my early twenties, I supported myself solely through legitimate gambling. However, I soon found myself broke and homeless, living under a highway overpass. I eventually sought gainful employment in the only industry I had knowledge of, becoming a Blackjack and Baccarat dealer. Armed with experience on both sides of the tables, my mentor to be, Joe Classon taught the ways of a professional casino cheater.
Although retired, I keep up on the various cons and scams that law enforcement is largely unnable to adequately police.
