How to Spot Cheaters at the Casino

Since the very first casino opened its doors, an endless war has raged between the operators trying to protect their money and the criminals trying to steal it.

Understanding exactly how these professional thieves operate not only satisfies a morbid curiosity but also protects honest players from becoming collateral damage at a compromised table.

How Cheaters Manipulate Casino Chips

Past posting occurs when a cheater incredibly quickly and silently adds additional chips to their winning bet exactly a split second after the winning outcome is determined.

While the dealer’s eyes are momentarily distracted by the sudden commotion, the extra high-denomination chips are seamlessly slid onto the winning betting circle.

• Modern roulette tables feature advanced sensors to detect any chip movement after the ball drops
• Dealers are trained to intensely stare at the chips immediately after announcing the winning number
• Past posting is a severe felony offense, not a simple misunderstanding of the rules

The Complex Scam of Edge Sorting

Cheaters attempt to destroy this mystery by physically marking the high-value cards (like Aces and Faces) so they can be identified from the back.

Edge sorting relies on finding tiny, microscopic manufacturing defects in the geometric patterns printed on the absolute back edge of the casino’s playing cards.

How Cheaters Manipulate the Dice

However, highly skilled mechanics attempt a scam known as “dice sliding,” which completely removes the random tumble of the dice.

By keeping the desired number facing upward during the entire slide, they only have to worry about the random outcome of the second tumbling die.

Attempting to cheat a modern casino is an incredibly foolish endeavor that almost universally ends in severe felony charges and prison time.
