A short story collection that includes the title story plus several other unusual tales.
From title story "...Rule No. 6: No matter what kind of food you may end up serving in the casino, always tell the customer it is fresh and hot (if it’s a food to be served warm) no matter how old it may be.
Andy deals the card. This time the house wins. The woman’s luck had evaporated.
Rule No. 7: When the games begin to beat the rollers, do not concern yourselves with this. Instead, offer more complimentary food and drink. And if possible offer your consolation.
“Oh, dear ma’am. Looks like Andy’s hand got the better of you there. Would you like another cinnamon roll, or perhaps another one of Charlie’s pastries? He’s cooking up some lemon squares in the back.”..."
