‘One point four per cent in favour of the House at craps, five per cent at blackjack’ – he looked down at Bond. ‘Except at your game, you crook! – five and a half per cent at roulette. Up to seventeen per cent at bingo and the wheel of fortune, and fifteen to twenty per cent at the slots. Not bad for the House, hn? Every year eleven million customers play Mr Spang and his friends at those odds. Take two hundred dollars as an average sucker’s capital, and you can work out for yourself how much stays in Vegas over a year’s play.’
