Venture Literary Sells Victor Royer’s GambleTalk to Kensington

On April 22, 2002, Greg Dinkin of Venture Literary sold the World Rights for GambleTalk and New Casino Games to Bruce Bender at Kensington Books.

In GambleTalk and New Casino Games, veteran gambling journalist and Las Vegas insider Victor H. Royer explains all of the special words and language used in the world of the casinos. Such information will make visits to the casino much more enjoyable, and also more profitable. This book also includes new casino games, and introductory profiles on all traditional games, from tables to slots. It may be the most comprehensive guide to the language of gambling and casino gambling games ever produced.

The author of the popular gambling book Play Smart and Win and a highly respected gaming consultant and journalist, Royer is also a syndicated magazine columnist for national gaming magazines. His articles have been appearing in numerous publications since 1984, including Casino Executive, Midwest Gaming and Travel, Card Player, Casino Journal, Casino, Nevada Casino Journal, The Player, and Las Vegas magazine. In his capacity as a consultant to the gaming industry, he has authored more than fifty casino reports, profiling casino games and services on behalf of the owners and operators of the world’s largest casino properties, including the Hilton, Mirage, Binion’s, and Foxwoods. He has also provided such services to the very manufacturers of the casino games.

The first book in Royer’s new how-to gambling series, Powerful Profits, is scheduled to hit bookstores this fall.
