Max is the author of Comp City, first published in 1994, with an expanded second edition published in 2002. In this groundbreaking book, Max exposed techniques even non-counting players could use to get an advantage over the casinos using weaknesses in the casinos' comp systems. This information came from his years of experience in the industry as a dealer, pit boss, and casino manager. Max still does consulting work for the Barona Casino in California.
The initial manuscript for Comp City included advanced comp-hustling techniques that could be used by professional card counters, but the editors at Huntington Press prefered to remove this section from the book in order to appeal to the wider market of recreational players. These excluded portions were published later in Blackjack Forum in June 1994, and you can easily find it online.
At that time, he started hosting the Blackjack Ball, a secret annual event for professional players, where he serves as Game Master as many of the top pros compete for the Blackjack Cup and the title of World's Best Blackjack Player.
Now, as a host of the Game Show Network's World Series of Blackjack, Rubin has become one of the most visible public advocates of professional players.
