The Gambler by William C. Rempel is a biography of the Malaysian businessman Lone Lok (Lim Kok Thay), heir to the Genting casino empire, and his father Lim Goh Tong, who founded it. The book traces how a poor immigrant's son built one of the world's largest and most influential casino conglomerates, navigating political connections, corruption, and global expansion.
It explores the intersection of gambling, business, and politics, showing how calculated risk-taking, both at the gaming tables and in corporate strategy, shaped Genting's rise. At its core, the book is about ambition, resilience, and the high-stakes world of international gambling empires.
