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.

The author has been playing and losing at video poker for more than a decade and that it wasn't until he realized that expert play and expert strategy didn't apply to him. Nor, he believes, does it apply to most people who play video poker. His contention is that since there is no true definition of long-term as far as profitability is concerned, the player must focus on a short term, and adjust not only his playing strategy but his bankroll and expectation. Here he explains how he pulled himself out of the category of "loser" and elevated himself to such a winning status that he now profits virtually every time he sets out to play.
