This book offers the first full-length biography of the man often
described as one of the most influential and innovative people in
the gaming industry over the past 50 years. King of the Slots:
William "Si" Redd relates the fascinating, only-in-America success
story of one man's improbable rise from the depths of poverty to
the heights of international commerce and dazzling wealth. William
Silas "Si" Redd is recognized as one of the most important and
influential persons in the gaming industry over the past half
century. The company he founded, International Game Technology
(IGT), is the world leader in the manufacture of gaming equipment
and gaming software features. His video poker is the most popular
slot machine since the original debuted in 1899. King of the Slots
covers the life (1911-2003) and rags-to-riches story of the man who
changed the face of the casino gaming industry. Both a business
book and a biography, it introduces readers to the nation's leading
gaming centers, Apollo-era technology and how it changed gambling,
and the race to perfect the first video poker game. It also gives
them a chance to meet the characters with whom Redd rubbed
shoulders, including Howard Hughes, Mafia capo Raymond Patriarca,
Arizona cowboy and pig farmer Jimmie Hughes, gaming legend Bill
Harrah, and casino visionary Jay Sarno.
