Product Description
Casino - Spawater Chronicles Volume III. This comedy fiction is for all who love blackjack, for all who want to know how card-counting actually works and for all who want to be cured of gambling addiction. It shows both sides of the gambling world. Casino is volume three of The Spawater Chronicles, a series of seven, relating the adventures of a group of friends, descendents of the Romans, in the old Roman town of Spawater. It tells how the local Health and Safety zealots have torpedoed that hitherto unsinkable institution, The Lifeboat Club. By bottom-of-the-pack dealing the council intend to purchase it for peanuts and flatten it to make the car park for a government approved supercasino - Unless Jady and his friends can turn up trumps. Odds on a good, dirty fight. From the Inside Flap Jady stands to make a fortune if he can produce the world's only unprofitable casino. To get rich his casino must lose a million in six months. But how? For someone with Jady's ability to deal from the bottom with a smile, anything is possible. Comedy Fiction From the Back Cover Health n'Safety zealots have shut Jady's club. Spawater council intends to purchase it for a derisory few chips and replace it with a government-approved supercasino. But Jady and his winos, heads and gamblers of Spawater - will defend their loser lifestyles all the way to the gutter. Can Jady run the Lifeboats' casino at a loss and inspire folk to turn tables on the council and come up trumps?
