The prominence of gambling and casinos is observed not just in European nations but also in other parts of the world including Asia, North and South America. One of the manifestations of the increasing interest of people in gambling is the mushrooming of casinos and other places that hold other gambling events such as horse-racing.
"The Gambler's Guide to the World," is a book written by Jesse May who was able to explore different casinos from around the world. The author also described the types of casino visitors. There are some areas in the world which the author failed to visit, but, May still managed to categorize the casinos into five categories which are the United States, Caribbean, South and Central America, Russia and Europe. What is more interesting in this book is that the author also discussed his personal experiences when he visited the casinos.
One of the advantages of this book is that it does not just feature the casinos and their facilities, it also featured restaurants nearby the casinos wherein casino visitors can try. In addition, the author succeeded in presenting the book in an attractive way.
