It\u2019s time for more comments about dealer cheating in general. I\u2019ve said before that I rarely suspect dealers of cheating. I used to play only low-stakes. Since that time, I\u2019ve logged in quite a few hours with Crazy Bob\u2019s team, at high stakes. I must say, some of the dealers I\u2019d played nickels against would change their style (and not for the better!) when big money was out on the table. I suspected more cheating at higher stakes levels. I\u2019d like to comment on the several courses of action a player who thinks he\u2019s been cheated might consider. I admit to having experimented with all of these options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a scene. I tried this. I would call over the pit boss and explain the problem. He would, of course, assure me that I was mistaken. In order to get some action taken, I knew I would have to say that I was capable as a card cheat, and that I knew when I was being taken. Then I\u2019d get action all right, but not the kind I\u2019d want. So, forget this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave and report it. Call the Nevada Gaming Commission. They\u2019ll need all the specifics: date, time, place, dealer\u2019s name, your name. No thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just leave. This option is very attractive, but boring. First, a little fun\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheat them back. I\u2019ve given up on this and I don\u2019t advise it. Getting corrected about how to hold your cards or tuck them under your chips is embarrassing. Besides, if they ever could prove something, you\u2019d be in real trouble. You\u2019d have to guard your moves from the cameras. Although counter catchers are almost as easy to spot as Griffin agents, they\u2019re only half as stupid. People do get caught cheating. Don\u2019t try this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to turn the game honest. For this you\u2019ve got to be on guard at all times. Just bully the dealer and sometimes he will be forced to deal honestly. If you suspect a second deal, ask for “the top one for a change.” One dealer at Foy\u2019s Tall Beaver Casino would do a peek by bringing his deck hand up to his nose to scratch it. A good comment to make is: “I don\u2019t care if you scratch, rub, or pick your nose, as long as you do it with the other hand.” This is a good option, because it might scare the dealer into reconsidering how smart and slick he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have fun, then walk. Hand the dealer a one dollar chip and say, “This is for you. We both know you need more practice, but do it at home. I wanted you to make at least one honest buck tonight.” Or say, “If your moves are that sloppy in bed, you\u2019ll be getting a divorce soon.” Then walk. This option is good for the same reason as #5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever you do, tell other players about your experience with a cheating dealer. You may be able to save some of a fellow player\u2019s bankroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One final comment: Just because you play low stakes doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t be cheated. Inform yourself, and always keep an eye open! \u2660<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"youtube\"<\/a>\"instagram\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
