He played in casinos around the world with a plan to make
himself richer than anyone could possibly imagine -- but it would
nearly cost him his life.
Semyon Dukach was known as the Darling of Las Vegas. A legend at
age twenty-one, this cocky hotshot was the biggest high roller to
appear in Sin City in decades, a mathematical genius with a system
the casinos had never seen before and couldn't stop -- a system
that has never been revealed until now; that has nothing to do with
card counting, wasn't illegal, and was more powerful than anything
that had been tried before.
Las Vegas. Atlantic City. Aruba. Barcelona. London. And the
jewel of the gambling crown -- Monte Carlo.
Dukach and his fellow MIT students hit them all and made
millions. They came in hard, with stacks of cash; big, seemingly
insane bets; women hanging on their arms; and fake identities.
Although they were taking classes and studying for exams during the
week, over the weekends they stormed the blackjack tables only to
be harassed, banned from casinos, threatened at gunpoint, and
beaten in Vegas's notorious back rooms.
The stakes were high, the dangers very real, but the players
were up to the challenges, consequences be damned. There was Semyon
Dukach himself, bored with school and broke; Victor Cassius, the
slick, brilliant MIT grad student who galvanized the team; Owen
Keller, with stunning ability but a dark past that would catch up
to him; and Allie Simpson, bright, clever, and a feast for the
eyes.
In the classroom, they were geeks. On the casino floor, they
were unstoppable.
Busting Vega$ is Dukach's unbelievably true story; a riveting
account of monumental greed, excess, hubris, sex, love, violence,
fear, and statistics that is high-stakes entertainment at its
best.
