And we’re back! This week I am joined by Blackjack Hall of Fame member Richard Munchkin to discuss Ken Uston’s messy and outrageous debut book, The Big Player. For most of the 1980s Ken Uston was a celebrity for beating casinos at blackjack. He wrote countless books, his picture adorned magazine covers and video game boxes, he appeared on national television and hung out with stars. And The Big Player was the book that started it all. Munchkin tells me about what it was like to deal to Uston, what the blackjack faithful really thought of him, and how people still make a living playing blackjack today. Presented by InGame.com.
