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, when it comes to felony and fraud charges, it is only considered cheating when a player is using an electronic aid or similar tool designed to unfairly cheat the casino or dealer.
Contrary to popular belief card counting is not actually considered a crime however casinos will not allow it and will usually ban you if they find you counting cards. They also make it seem a much worse crime than it acutally 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. Blackjack And Counting Cards. The Hi-Lo method has been used throughout the years by people looking to get the edge on the casino when playing blackjack. This is how it works - When the cards are dealt you start with a count of zero. For every face card, 10 or ace that is dealt to you or any other player, take away one point. If a player is dealt a 2-6 add a point to the total. For a 7, 8 or 9 you add zero points (or just let the cards cancel each other out). Before each hand is dealt divide the count by the the number of decks (you estimate) are left. When the total hits +2 it is a better time to bet. When you count try nmot to move your lips as casinos will quickly get wise as to what you are up to!
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.Slots - Outsmarting the Machines Slots technology is improving all the time but some of the older machines are susceptible to the ‘fake quarter’ method of cheating. Basically you need to find a substitute for the quarters provided by the casino, these substitutes should be the same weight size and density as the real thing in order to be sure of cheating the slots. Another tried and tested method is the ‘quarter on a string’ trick where a cheater deposits the quarter into the machine and then quickly takes it out with the string but fooling the slot machine into thinking that they have placed a bet.
