Vivian Brooks ran the office that decided what every regular customer was worth. She approved the free play on your card, signed off on the mailers in your box, and set the targets your host was paid to hit. Then she managed the whole floor. She is not on that side anymore.

Keep What's Yours, by Vivian Brooks, ex-casino manager. The cover shows her in her office above the casino floor.

The Book

Take the perks.
Give nothing else.

This book will not teach you how to gamble, and it will not scold you. If a night out with the lights and the noise is your fun, keep it. It shows you the machine behind the offers, so you can walk out with your money.

Six parts. First her old office: how they put a number on you, what the offers in your mailbox really cost, and what your host is measured on. Then the floor she managed, and the games that follow you home on your phone and at the store register. The last part hands you her own rules, the way off their list, and how to help someone you love.

Every gift from a casino is priced against what they expect you to lose.

The Office

What the offer says,
and what it was priced on.

Down on the floor it all looks like generosity. Up in her office it was a printout, one row per person, and one of those rows was you.

Free play on your card

What most people thinkA gift for being loyal

The truthBait with a date on it, and the cheapest bait in the building

The offer in your mailbox

What most people thinkA nice surprise

The truthPriced against what you are expected to lose, and sent because it works

"Your status is at risk"

What most people thinkA friendly reminder about your perks

The truthTimed to arrive in November or early December, with just enough weeks left to make the climb feel possible

The we-miss-you letter

What most people thinkThey missed you

The truthIt comes because you stopped, and it grows because your absence costs the house money it was counting on

The host who knows your name

What most people thinkA friend at the property

The truthMeasured on your trips and your play. Warm is a job skill

Money back on your losses

What most people thinkA refund

The truthA loss rebate is a reason to bet bigger, not a refund

From the years Vivian ran the player-development office, and then the floor.

From the Book

Twenty-four chapters.
Here are three passages.

The printout was waiting on my chair the first morning I sat down in the player-development office. Eleven pages of it, folded like an accordion and still warm from the printer down the hall.
Chapter 1 · I Decided What You Were Worth
The report had a dull name in the system, something like account status by segment, but everybody on my team called it the empty-chair list. It held the regulars who had stopped coming.
Chapter 7 · The We-Miss-You Letter
Here is what the business did next, and I want to describe it plainly, without villains, because there were none in the room.
Chapter 23 · The Customer I Could Not Warn
Vivian Brooks, former casino manager, in a white blazer in her office.

Who Wrote This

She ran the office
that priced your offers.

Vivian Brooks began in the cashier's cage, counting other people's money for hours at a stretch. Then the slot floor, then marketing. For the long middle of her career she ran the player-development office: the hosts, the database, the mailers, the free play, the tiers and the comps. In her last years she managed the whole casino floor.

She left after one quiet morning with one customer's file, a story she tells in the first chapter. Then she handed in her keys and walked out of that building for good. She never names the casino, and every customer in the book is a composite with the name changed.

"The people who lost the most with us were not foolish."

Questions

What people ask
before they buy.

Is this a book telling me not to gamble?

No. There is no lecture in it, and nobody gets shamed. Plenty of people enjoy a casino and go home fine. This book is written so the night out stays a night out, and the money comes home with you.

Does it teach any way to win?

No. There is no system in here and no way to beat the machines. Vivian read the reports every morning, and the house's number never once lost a year. The offers and the odds are explained for one reason only: so you can see the price of each one and decide whether to pay it.

Who is it for?

Readers of about fifty-five and up, and the families who worry about them. It is also for anybody with a players card in their purse, free play in their mailbox, or a host who calls them by name.

Somebody I love is in trouble. Will this help?

The last part of the book is written for exactly that: how to get off the casino's list, how to read a win/loss statement together without shame, and what to do when it is your mother. It explains the national helpline and the state self-exclusion programs, which vary from state to state. It is not medical or psychological advice and does not pretend to be.

What format is it, and how do I get it?

You get both a PDF and an EPUB, so it opens on any phone, tablet, computer or e-reader, and the PDF can be printed on paper. It is set in large, readable type. It comes straight to your email the moment you pay, and it is yours to keep. There is nothing to log into.

What if I want a refund?

If the book does not help you, reply within 30 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
