Max Rubin

Max Rubin is a unique blackjack comedian who bills himself as "The Undisputed Overweight Comp Champion of the World."

"Comp City"

Drinks, gourmet meals, shows, rooms, first class flights. All these and more are given away by American casinos in return for their customers' gambling business. In Comp City: A Guide to Free Casino Vacations, Max Rubin explains how to get your fair share of the free stuff. He covers such topics as how to appear to be a bigger wagerer than you actually are, whom and how much to tip, which hours to play to get the best comps, and more. In hilarious style, Comp City contains good practical advice on how to receive valuable goods and services at the expense of the casinos.

Expert Blackjack Analysis

Beneath Rubin's comic exterior lies an experienced and quite astute analyst of the game of blackjack. He has appeared as an expert commentator on a number of television shows, including the Discovery Channel's "Casino Diaries," GSN's "World Series of Blackjack," and CBS's "Ultimate Blackjack Tour."

Max has also written articles for many magazines. One of his favorite themes is that casinos should welcome card counters and treat them with courtesy. In the long run, the casinos would gain more from the bad card counters than they would lose to the good ones. By barring card counters, the casinos are in effect ejecting their own profits.
