Casino carpet is known as an exercise in deliberate bad taste that somehow encourages people to gamble.
The wheel was famous to the Romans (note its prominence at Caesars Palace) as a symbol of the relentless capriciousness of fortune.
Even my academic work on casinos has been an attempt to answer the question of how you get people to spend hours in smoke-filled, garishly-decorated places, losing money--and liking it.

 Review of American Casino Guide - 2002 Edition
Finally, only the very largest casinos in Canada are listed, such as Casino de Montreal, but there are many others that a traveller might find worth taking a look at in just about every Canadian city of significant size.
In my opinion, for anyone who plans to travel to casino destinations in the United States, this is probably the single most useful book on the market.
Not only is the information on the casinos detailed and timely, but the often neglected first half of the book contains some of the finest gambling advice for beginners that I've seen in print.
