Recently, I read a short story entitled "Calling Pittsburgh" , by Stephen
Brust (anthologized in _Lord of the Fantastic_, a tribute to Roger Zelazny
edited by Martin Greenberg). Through its extensive use of poker parlance, it
was quite evocative of Fritz Leiber's "Gonna Roll Them Bones", a story which
relied heavily on the use of craps terms.
Both these stories were delightful "reads" and I wonder if any one has other
recommendations for SF stories relating to gambling.
Thanx.
