This could oh so easily fallen of the rails. Addiction, is at best a minefield to write about. Every person is different, as is each addiction. It does well to incorporate the drugs and alcohol along side the gambling. Yes people have multiple addictions.
Back to the story. For a debut novel, this is excellent. The characters and the plot are very strong. The casino's are well represented but only due to the narrative of what's going through the characters mind for bet placements.
Army, a move to Germany, infidelity and a marriage breakdown.
I could give you more, but this is one story you are going to have to read for yourself.
Just remind yourself this one thing, "...the house always wins..."
