After reading the back cover of this book I knew I had to read it. Bringing Down the House is the story of how M.I.T. students beat the house. They took Las Vegas and other casinos around the country for millions of dollars.
The book is one of the best I’ve ever read. It was one of those I couldn’t put down. I like to read chapter by chapter and each time I reached the end of a chapter I couldn’t resist going for just one more.
This story is the real deal. You read about the ins and outs of how these students worked in card counting teams to beat the blackjack tables one night at a time. These students forced casinos all over the world to change the way their security systems work. You’ll read about he highs and lows of winning big. If you’re a gambler this is a book for you. I give it an A+.

I swear I heard about this book while watching a documentary about slot machines and security. I might have to read it, sounds very interesting.

There has been a TV movie made with the same name too, but I haven’t seen it.

I saw a show on these MIT students last week, I think it was on the biography channel (or maybe A&E or some channel like that). Very fascinating! It appeared to be more of a documentary, rather than a tv movie, but it might be what you are referring to.

I saw a documentary on the History Channel about this. It goes along with the Breaking Vegas series they have been airing for the past 6-9 months. It was very interesting….I might need to borrow this book
