Second in the series of Dancer's video poker fiction, this is an intricately plotted erotic novel filled with the shrewd thinking and elaborate schemes of winning gamblers. It's a fast-moving and insightful book about winning at video poker. It's also about Vegas, baby! Chris is in love with Annie, but Maria wants Chris for an occasional sex-with-no-strings fling. Maria is the mistress of high roller Jimmy, who had a recent affair with Meg, Chris's sister-in-law. Meg's husband Richard, meanwhile, is pursuing Maria, whom Jimmy wants to trade with him for another crack at Meg. The whole ménage is lubricated with alcohol, abetted by guns and martial arts, and inhabited by people willing to lie to those closest to them in order to reach their goals.

Focuses on important steps to winning such as how to choose the right machine and the correct way to evaluate slot clubs and promotions. The book breaks down into three categories: No Wild Cards; Deuces Wild variations and Joker Wild variations with almost three dozen games under scrutiny starting with Jacks or Better and Bonus Poker and moving on to Double Bonus, Triple Bonus Poker Plus, Double Double Bonus, Royal Aces Bonus, Double Deuces, Loose Deuces, Deuces Bonus and numerous Joker Wild variations. 237 pages, paperbound. 2009.
