However, despite the somewhat dry scientific nature of Pawlicki's text, the gaming advice provided by the author is actually very helpful and practical. Pawlicki is not playing any mind games with the reader but is very straightforward about the do's and the don'ts of successful roulette play. The book certainly offers some priceless pointers to determined roulette winners.

Roulette professionals, however, are very likely to find the book valuable as well. Overall, the text is targeted at the intelligent player who understands that there is no magic way to beat the casino simply because casino games have built-in house edges that rarely can be overcome.
