Cheating In Casinos

Cheating in casinos refers to actions which are prohibited by a casino's rules. Cheating is usually illegal but the exact sanctions will depend on the jurisdiction in which the casino operates. In Nevada, cheating in a casino is a felony under Nevada law. In most other jurisdictions, specific statutes do not exist, but cheating in a casino would likely be considered fraud and dealt with as such by the authorities.

Advantage play techniques are not cheating unless the player is illegally employing electronic or similar aids. Card counting, for example, is a legitimate advantage play strategy that can be employed in blackjack and other card games. Nonetheless, casinos in Nevada and other jurisdictions are permitted to ban advantage players and will often falsely refer to such techniques as "cheating" in an effort to demonize the practices.

Methods of cheating

The methods for cheating in a casino are often specific to individual games and include:

Pastposting
After a bet is won, one replaces smaller denomination chips with chips of large denomination.
Hand Mucking
Palming desirable cards then switching them for less desirable cards that the gambler holds.
Marking Cards During Play
Various methods.
Introducing Previously Marked Decks Into Play
Usually involves "inside" help, i.e., the collusion of casino employees. There are many different way to mark decks of cards, some of them very difficult to detect.
False Deals
Ability to deal the second card from the top (used in conjunction with marked cards), or the ability to deal the bottom card of the deck (used in conjunction with placing desirable cards at the bottom of the deck.)
False Shuffles and Cuts
Ability to seemingly mix and cut the cards while retaining certain cards or the whole deck in a desired order.
Slot Machines
Methods exist for altering the outcome of slot machine games.
Collusion
In poker games, the practice of two partners signalling to each other the values of their cards; this can be very difficult to detect.
Using electronic aids
Illegally using a computer or similar device to aid in the employment of an otherwise legitimate stragegy such as card counting. Can be increasingly difficult to detect as aids become smaller and easier to hide.

How casinos combat cheating

Proper Procedure
This means certain standardized ways of shuffling cards, dealing cards, storing, retrieving and opening new decks of cards.
Eyes in the Sky
Most casinos have an extensive array of cameras and recorders which monitor and record all the action in a casino. Some casinos use facial recognition software to detect known cheats or card counters/advantage players as they enter the casino.
Software
Casinos use software to analyze game play to uncover any unusual betting patterns or winning patterns and thus discern cheaters (as well as non-cheating card counters and "advantage players").

try to cheat in lithuania casino..... will be left without head

cheating is bad, I never cheat and hope you don't

I think casino's (internet that is) themselves cheat.

Try playing Casino Holdem.

1st I played only on the minimum bets (1c-5c) and was winning almost every hand, then I raised the bets (10c-40c) and started going 50/50, then, after losing 4 hands in a row I said - next hand is mine, might as well play on higher stakes, so I went to 3$ bet, was dealt 7/4 and after a ridiculous flop decided to fold. Next hand T3, again ridiculous flop, fold. Then I got J9, flop had a draw, I called and lost to 2pair. Then I played again and lost with 2pair to a set.. Then I had only 0.1$ left in my account and went back to 1c-5c bets, and started winning again. When I had 0.5$ I made the bet 25c and lost.

The moral of the story is - the lower the stake the more chance you have at winning (shouldn't the odds be the same every time you play??), first they tell you you're a lucky man, winning 5c every hand, then they take everything away from you with 10 in a row beating as soon as you play on higher stakes.
