David Zarin was known as Mr. Z at Resorts Casino International in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1978, when casino gambling began. He was a complex man; a consummate risk-taker, gregarious and exciting to be around, qualities that made him a successful entrepreneur. And eventually, a fearless, fixated and driven gambler. "Mr. Z" ultimately became, at that time, the largest gambler on a sustained basis anywhere in the world. This is his story. How it all came to pass, the compelling characters and relationships involved, and how the consequences of his actions impacted those he loved and cared about.
This is not your normal out-of-control gambling story. We see how Dave Zarin, a compassionate and politically astute businessman, recognized that bringing affordable housing to Atlantic City was critical to fueling its economic comeback and to improving the lives of its residents. This risk-taker, immersed in an environment seeped with temptation, was destined for disaster. This is the rare story that takes you behind the scenes of the casino, and how the casino's actions and decisions enabled Mr Z's gambling to reach unprecedented levels. This book also explores the failure of casino gambling as a model for the economic resurgence of Atlantic City.
Mr. Z was the author's dad. He loved and admired him, but his dad's love of risk turned his whole family upside down. Mr. Z's story is ultimately about his family and the many fascinating people who knew and admired him in all his complexity.
