Don't judge this book by its title. "License To Steal" may mislead a reader by suggesting the book writes from a polarized Anti-Casino Point of View. Excluding the first three letters of the title on this book, there is no other instance of the text lambasting the gaming industry.

This book is worth the time of those interested in learning how the Nevada Gaming Control System operates. It provides neutral exposition regarding Nevada's Gaming Control System history, profiles key figures, and provides well sources briefs of licensing hearings. The sum content can help a reader sketch a mental model of how the gaming control system operates.
