Publisher's summary

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.

Wonderful help in navigating casinos

Jean has terrific insights both for frugal people like her and for people like me who treat it as a game. I have a better understanding of how the comp system works and how to play it after reading the book than I did before. I also have a new respect for casino fun-books and the possibilities for turning negative expectation games into positive expectation ones by using a small value coupon.

Thanks, Jean

Well-written, enjoyable audibook with lots of info

This is a great book for anyone new to gambling. You learn about comps, coupons books, and how to get freebies while gambling, plus tips for what games to play. It's an easy listen with some very enjoyable anecdotes about gambling. I'm looking forward to another book by this author!

Excellent Comp Information for Low Rollers

Anyone who plays table games, slots or video poker for any amount of time, will more than pay for this audiobook in comps if you don't take advantage of the system already. As some readers will tell you, some of the information seems more like "work". However there are many easy things that can save you Hundreds of dollars. I know it has saved me more than I ever knew possible. Nice job Jean.

No accompanying PDF!

Hard to give this 5 stars. Feels like I paid for a book and the most important pages were missing.

The book says “see page 21 and 22” or “see list of resources in the back of this book, refer to charts 3, and things like that but doesn’t provide the accompanying pdf. Really annoying.

Also referenced som audiobooks.com/frugal and that website didn’t show anything
