The 4 Methods Used TO Cheat Casinos

It's pretty well known that Casinos do not like cheaters. Anyone who takes money illegally from them could be in for a rought time!

However in order for a cheater to be charged with fraud or a felony they have to be using an electronic tool, or similar to cheat the casino or dealer out of money.

Card counting is not considered a crime, and it's left up to the casino whether or not to ban such a talented person. Rest assured, most casinos will not allow it and may make it seem like a greater offense than it is.

Casino management and security departments are notoriously unpleasant to people they find cheating. However here are 4 methods that are used to cheat casinos out of money.

1. Card Counting in Blackjack There is a classic method known as 'hi-lo' and it works like this - WHen the cards are shuffled and dealt the player starts at 0. For every ace, 10 or face card that is dealt you take 1 point away from the total. For every 2-6 that is dealt you add a point to the total. Cards that are 7, 8 or 9 are zero points. Before each hand divide your count by the number of decks that are left. The time to bet is when you get a total of +2. Word of warning, try not to move your lips as you count the cards or the casinos may catch onto the fact that you are counting cards!

2. Poker Marking poker is often an easier game to rig as you are playing against other players rather than playing against the house itself. People 'mark' cards in a variety of ways including scratching the corner of a card with a fingernail, shading parts of the card or blocking parts of the card out. A cheater may then use special contact lenses or glasses to see these 'marks' as they may or may not be visible to the naked eye.

3.Craps - Dicing with the dice! In order to cheat at craps the player would ideally have to slip altered dice into the game. The dice corners may be rounded slightly or weighted in a certain way to increase the chances of landing on a higher number. Another way to try and ensure a winning dice roll is to place the dice in the palm of your hand so that the number you desire is facing upwards. You then move your hand so that the dice remain in this position or land flat. This move takes quite a bit of practice, but you can bet your bottom dollar that casinos are aware of this technique and are on the look out for it. You have been warned!

4.Outsmarting the Slot Machines Though slot machines are improving in technology, some are still susceptible to the old "fake quarter" trick, so as long as the fake is the same size, makeup and density as the casino-provided quarters. Additionally, scammers have found that attaching string to a quarter can fool some slot machines into thinking you have placed a bet.
