Book Description
In 1919 Nick Dandolos arrived in Chicago from Greece, pursuing the American dream. Instead, tempted into a high-stakes game of cards, he is driven to humiliation and defeat. From these depths he begins his painstaking mastery of the skills of gambling under the tutelage of the crafty old gambler, Nestor, who says, "If God wished to learn to gamble, he would come to me."Wreaking vengeance on the powerful gangsters who had beaten him, Nick begins a meteoric ascent that carries him through no-limit games with kings and tycoons, and, finally, gains for himself legendary status as "Nick the Greek."

My Friend Nick the Greek
Author: Elaine Campbell
Publisher: Wingspan Press
ISBN: 9781595943996
Category : Casinos
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
NICK THE GREEK was both myth and legend in his time, a greater than life figure without whom Las Vegas in the '50s would not have been the same. His presence on the scene enhanced an entire city. The only memoir ever written about Nick (Dandolos) the Greek, and the only book written by a woman and someone who knew him, Nick is introduced as the "person" he was, apart from his gambling feats: what he was really like, how he acted, thought and felt, and the philosophy by which he lived his unique and one of a kind life.
