Casino dealers are those responsible for overseeing and overseeing a game’s proceedings, keeping an eye out on players and looking out for any signs of cheating that might occur. They know all methods for cheating can be detected quickly.
Cheating in casinos is illegal and could result in jail time, so casinos take great measures to catch cheaters through surveillance teams and security guards.
Card counting
There are various methods you can use to detect an unethical dealer at the casino. One is by looking out for signs of card counting – an illegal practice that reduces odds for the house in favor of winning.
A card-counter keeps track of each card’s value and determines how many high- and low-rank cards remain in their deck, then uses this data to estimate the ratio between high- and low-value cards in their deck.
Another effective way of detecting an illegal dealer is to closely observe their betting patterns. When they feel confident of having an excellent hand, their bet sizes may increase accordingly.
As part of their strategy in blackjack, these experts may take out insurance when the risk is worth the risk, giving them an edge against casinos.
Security surveillance systems can detect dealers who are cheating by noting their betting pattern and eye movements, or by noting an increase in sweating. They also can detect when someone is oversweating excessively.
Marked cards
Card marking is an unlawful way of cheating at casinos. This form of cheating can take various forms, from infrared markings to chipping cards or denting them with sharp objects.
Traditional card marking techniques involve engravings that resemble Braille and tiny bumps which may or may not be visible or touchable – these methods continue to be utilized by hustlers looking for an edge in the game.
There are more advanced techniques for marking cards besides traditional methods; these include block-out work, cut-out work, scroll work and shade or tintwork.
Another relatively novel method involves the use of luminous or juice marked decks. Although difficult to spot, these decks can still be read using special filtered sunglasses.
Ultra-Luminous technology is a more effective method for marking cards than its predecessor, the original luminous systems. UV filters that come integrated into contact lenses or glasses make reading this marker simple, and an IR camera designed specifically to detect marks can detect it easily as well.
Stacking cards
Stacking cards is an exploited tactic used in various casinos to cheat. Through this strategy, dealers alter the order in which cards are given out to players.
It can be challenging for dealers to identify key cards as they are dealt and collect them so that key cards arrive in time after shuffle. Calculating an IBN (In Between Number) means that both key cards should arrive together in one hand.
Not every dealer is capable of pulling off this type of cheating strategy; cameras installed throughout a casino floor allow them to spot cheating dealers easily.
Peeking
One way of detecting cheating dealers at casinos is to monitor their eye movement and betting pattern.
Thirdly, take a close look at the cards dealt to players in your home game if the dealer doesn’t shuffle before handing them out. This method may prove particularly useful.
Casinos often employ cameras equipped with AI surveillance that record card-shuffle patterns and other data points in order to identify possible cheaters. Furthermore, this type of surveillance also flags players if their betting pattern or behavior seems off, such as sweating profusely.
