“The Gambler” is William Rempel's latest book. It covers the rags-to-riches tale of Armenian icon Kirk Kerkorian, a poor immigrant’s son who made and lost billions on bold business ventures. Kerkorian became one of the most instrumental figures in Las Vegas as MGM Resorts' founder and impresario. He also parlayed his shrewd business moves in the airline, auto and movie industries, and donated hundred of millions of dollars to Armenian causes.
