For the rest of us, it is an occasionally maddening, sometimes exhilarating, and frequently humor-filled misuse of time.<\/p>\n<p>Craps, blackjack, poker, bingo, keno &#8211; roll these words slowly about your head for a bit. There&#8217;s something funny about them, isn&#8217;t there? Now try the phrase &#8220;slot machine&#8221;, or better yet, &#8220;slot player&#8221;&#8230; The whole gaming experience is awash in chortles and titters, and that&#8217;s where we come in.<\/p>\n<p><em>Less Than a Full Deck<\/em> is a somewhat-twisted take on the quirky (let&#8217;s face it, there&#8217;s some pretty curious stuff going on here) world of gambling.
