You may have heard that casinos don't like cheaters, and are more than willing to rough up any rule breakers who are defying the odds and taking home money illegally.
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 security departments and their guards can be rather unpleasant cheating is certainly not recommended, however here are 4 tip on how people sometimes cheat casinos.
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 - Making your mark poker is quite an easy game to rig as you are playing against human opponents as opposed to playing against the house (or casino). Cheating at poker is often achieved by 'marking' the cards. Cards are marked in a variety of different ways. Players may subtly bend certain cards or score the back of the card with a fingernail. The mark is not always visible to the naked eye. The cheater may use special contact lenses or glasses in order to see the mark effectively.
3.Dicing Dice in Craps Cheating in craps involves either a player slipping in altered dice (which may be weighted down rounded out on one side to increase the odds of a high number) or manipulating legitimate dice. You can improve your odds at rolling your desired number by placing the wanted number face up in your hand and then moving your hand so that it remains in the position, whether rolling or landing flat. If you master this technique, be subtle about it as casinos do look for this and will not hesitate to send you on your way.
4. Confusing the slots Slots are improving in technological terms all the time, however some are still susceptible to a trick known as the 'fake quarter'. The fake quarter needs to be the same size, density and weight as the real thing. In the past cheaters have found that a quarter attached to a piece of string and then inserting it into the machine and then pulling it out will fool the machine into thinking you have made a bet. Casinos are very wise to this method of cheating and the chances of finding a machine that will fall for this trick are somewhat limited.
