BlackJack is traditionally regarded as a man's game. A sharp dressed, James Bond type fluttering in Monte Carlo comes to mind.
But the reality is quite different. The professional blackjack world is populated by ex-computer programmers and chess grandmasters. Sharp dress is not a feature in today's gambling hotspots. Jenni meets Sandra Newman and , a professional Blackjack player turned novelist and Linda Darby, resident director of London Gala Casinos Maxims to discuss the casino's changing image. The Only Good Thing Anyone Has Ever Done is published in paperback by Chatto and Windus; ISBN:0701173114
