"...Or Your Money Back" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story revolves around a unique invention designed by the protagonist, Jason Howley, which allows the user to manipulate the outcome of games of chance, such as roulette and dice. The narrative explores themes of legality and morality in the context of gambling and personal integrity. The plot centers on Jason Howley, who approaches a criminal lawyer to discuss his gadget that can influence the outcomes of casino games. After demonstrating its capabilities, Howley engages in a high-stakes game at a Las Vegas casino, winning an extraordinary amount of money, which quickly draws the attention of law enforcement. The lawyer must navigate the complexities of the legal system to defend Howley against charges of fraud while simultaneously trying to uncover the truth about the gadget's workings. As the trial unfolds, it becomes evident that the implications of Howley’s invention could disrupt the entire gambling industry, leading to a tense climax and a thought-provoking conclusion on the nature of luck and deception.
