In a little experiment on price sensitivity in the ebook format, I’ve decided to slash the price of the e-version of Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling by nearly 20%. The list price for all versions of the RTB ebook is now $7.99. You can learn more or buy it at your favorite ebook retailer:

The Gamblers Book Club, probably the biggest seller of books about gambling in the world, is now stocking signed copies of the book.

Q & A with Newsworks New Jersey:
It’s always great to talk to people from my native New Jersey, particularly Jen A. Miller, who has written a great book about the Jersey Shore.
Go here to read the whole interview, where I put an Atlantic City spin on the book, which already has some great material about the seaside resort.
You can also read an excerpt from the book’s Atlantic City chapterl The Rise of Atlantic City.
I’ve definitely got Atlantic City covered in this new edition.

Lots of people have heard of San Francisco mechanic Charles Fey’s Liberty Bell, which was the first auto-pay reel slot to gain popularity. He unveiled it in 1899.
Fewer people know that the first coin-operated slot machine, a device that flipped through five decks of cards, with winners paid off in kind (not in cash) for “winning” hands.
It was an early, analog video poker machine. And it was invented in 1891, 8 years before Fey’s Liberty Bell, in Brooklyn, New York.
That’s just one of the many fascinating things you’ll read about in Roll the Bones: The History of Gambling.
