Fizzbin and other SF games

I am looking for someone with the knowledge to write an article about "gambling in science fiction" for the Renovation Worldcon Souvenir Book.

(So this means a discussion of the role various games of chance have played in some well-known science fiction books, movies, short stories, etc.)

Given that we'll be in Reno, Nevada, this seems like the obvious choice. :-) If this doesn't describe you, but you have someone to suggest, that would be great, too.

Feel free to drop me a private note via LiveJournal, if you do not have my email address. (Given how many roving spam bots are hitting this blog, I'm not taking chances!)

Thanks!
