Summary: From 1962-1972 John Soares and his crew of crossroaders ripped-off millions of dollars from the Nevada casinos, bleeding the crap tables, the blackjack dealers, and the slots of their life's blood, money, and lots of it. John Soares is one man who had been beaten around by the system and for good or for bad decided to take matters into his skillful hands. Challening the monolithic power of the casinos he beat them at their own game. Loaded Dice evokes a period of gambling history, the mid-1960s, in which there probably were as many casinos cheating honest patrons as there were dishonest patrons cheating the casinos. He not only shows how the casino personnel could, and often did, cheat the unsuspecting gambler, greatly improving the odds already skewed in the house's favor, but he lays out in detail his exploits and the techniques he used.
