Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
There are thousands of books relating to poker, blackjack, roulette and baccarat, including strategy guides, statistical analysis, psychological studies, and much more. However, there are no books on Pell, Rouleno, Street Dice, and many other games that have had a short life in casinos!
While this is understandable ? most casino gamblers have not heard of these games, and no one is currently playing them ? their absence from published works means that some interesting mathematics and gaming history are at risk of being lost forever. Table games other than baccarat, blackjack, craps, and roulette are called carnival games, as a nod to their origin in actual traveling or seasonal carnivals.
Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games is a focused look at these games and the mathematics at their foundation.
Features
? Exercises, with solutions, are included for readers who wish to practice the ideas presented
? Suitable for a general audience with an interest in the mathematics of gambling and games
? Goes beyond providing practical ?tips? for gamblers, and explores the mathematical principles that underpin gambling games
"Overall, the mathematical simplicity, the informative-didactic style and the unifying approach is what makes this book suitable for the double audience (players and maths students), and any non-mathematical person interested in gambling mathematics may start with it as a primer. As for the players, this mathematical perspective not only aims at gaming strategy and information, but includes problem gamblers fairly in the target audience because, by such perspective, the author offers them lessons too throughout the book, sometimes ?between the lines? but mostly present in the applied-mathematics content."
? International Gambling Studies
"An inherently fascinating, impressively informative, and ground-breaking unique and seminal study, Mathematics of Casino Carnival Games must be considered an unreservedly recommended and core addition to personal, professional, college, and university library Advanced Mathematics and Games Theory collections and supplemental curriculum lists."
? Midwest Book Review
