The 4 Methods Used TO Cheat Casinos 

Here's a fact that I am sure you know - Casinos don't like cheaters very much, they are more than willing to make a cheater's life miserable if they find you trying to take their money by cheating.

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.

Counting Cards is not actually considered a criminal offense however it is left up to the casino to decide whether to ban you, and they often will, they will also make it seem a much greater offense than it is to scare potential card counters away.

Because casinos security guards are so vengeful, cheating is not recommended. However, you did ask so here are four tips on casino cheating.

1.Counting Cards in Blackjack The classic Hi-Lo method involves a player starting with 0 at the shuffle. Then for every 10, face card or ace that is dealt, take away one point. For every card 2-6, add one point. Then make 7, 8 and 9 as zero points. (You can also let cards cancel each other out) Before each hand, divide your count by the estimated number of decks left. When you hit +2 you know it's time to bet. Try not to move your lips as you do the math or most casinos will kick you out.

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.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.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.
