Default Comps Books

What is the best book when it comes to casino comps and overall explains how it works. I just want to learn about it and maybe at one point get some comps at a casino, but I want to at least have the information. The problem is there are so many books.

Here are the ones I have seen so far, I dont know if they are all terrible. I just want to buy 1 so if they all stink please tell me which one I should buy instead.

The Frugal Gambler
Comp City
Guerrilla Gambling

Default Re: Comps Books

comp city is a bit antiquated since most players club systems are now fully computerized and pit personnel do not have the famed "power of the pen" as much as they used to. it might still be applicable to some of the small independently-owned casinos in vegas (in dwindling numbers), and it's an entertaining and historical read in general.

the frugal gambler series is good but is mostly aimed towards video poker grinders. if you're okay with that, then this is probably the primary form of easy comp hustling there is right now.

the scoblete book doesn't really cover comps at all, just general game strategy.
