The Crew - 9781536985498

After fifteen years, Dean is finally getting out of the casino business to open a shop with his wife. While that door to the casino life closes behind Dean, it opens up for somebody else-a young naive man named Jeremy who always dreamed of working in a casino as a craps dealer. His whole life he imagined himself under the bright lights, dealing big money to a packed table and rubbing elbows with the beautiful people and the bigshots, just like in the movies. After going through gaming school and being hired at The Hardway Casino, Jeremy's impression of the casino world that was filled with smiles, glitz and glamour shatters instantly, opening his eyes to the true reality of the business beneath the facade. Disillusioned, Jeremy is ready to quit and return to his old job at the fast food restaurant-until a dice crew takes the young break-in under their wing and teaches him how to be a dice dealer. Jeremy not only learns about the craft of dealing dice, he is also taught about the other things that come with territory necessary to surviving the grind: Partying, gambling, and chasing women. However, the Hardway Casino has been bought by a new company and new changes are coming at the expense of the casino employees. Tensions mount and pressure builds in the workplace until something finally gives. The Crew is a twisted comedy masterpiece with the most colorful and imaginative characters that only David D. Arnold himself could put into words that will leave the reader's sides sore from laughter."
