How to Use This Book My associates and clients travel quite a lot. And, we also play roulette all over the United States as well as on cruise ships and in the Caribbean. About six months ago I decided to contact many of them and find out where they liked to gamble and where they believed the best gambling was found. This report is the result of this informal survey. Here’s what you’ll find in this report - You’ll get the names of the very best US land-based casinos for roulette play. I am talking about casinos in Atlantic City, Chicago, Detroit, on the Gulf Coast, in Iowa, Lake Tahoe, Downtown Las Vegas, Local Casinos in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Strip Casinos, Laughlin, Missouri, Native casinos in the Midwest in the Northeast, South and West, New Orleans, Reno, Shreveport-Bossier City, Indiana, Tunica and Vicksburg. In addition we also list the best cruise lines and Caribbean roulette casinos. Good luck with your roulette play.
