Ethics of Poker

Is it morally permissible to plunder a drunken player's riches at the poker table? Is it morally permissible for casinos to provide free alcoholic beverages to patrons while they gamble? The Ethics of Poker is the first text of its kind, asking and answering the ethical questions above, and many others related to playing poker for real money.

The Ethics of Poker is of immediate interest to poker players wishing to do the right thing morally and anyone interested in philosophy and applied ethics. But more importantly, the moral lessons learned from a study of the ethics of poker provide moral direction for our daily lives, since there are definite moral rights and wrongs, even within poker.
