As I have said many times, the key to taking money from casino roulette is to keep it small and to make it look natural. You may get away with winning or taking large amounts of money for a short while because the casino cannot be sure that you are not just getting lucky and will be reticent to intervene. It is far more productive in the long run to go for small and regular amounts because these when taken over time will add up to more money unless we are talking about a very substantial one off coup.
The concealed push out move has been another very common cheating technique over the years and once again involves the dealer. The move is relatively simple, a punter buys in for four or more stacks of colour chips that resemble the colour of the cash chip that is about to be concealed. The reason for the colour similarity is because the dealer needs the move to appear natural if they get detected.
A much higher denomination chip is mixed in with a stack of colour chips. The stack with the cash chip in it will be situated behind two more stacks of colour as you push them out to the punter. Also, your guiding hand will conceal the chip to anyone else on the table as well thus making it truly invisible.
To strengthen the move, the dealer plans for it in advance. If someone has been playing in black twenty five pound chips then this creates an ideal opportunity to create the move without it looking suspicious if you get caught. As the twenty five pound chips are scooped into the chipping machine with all of the other chips, they should in theory be separated into their respective colours by the machine.
But cash chips do often come through the machine and go into one of the chutes that has colour chips in it thus making what is called a “dirty stack”. As the dealer is compiling the five stacks of colour in order to pass them out to their accomplice who has just bought in, they casually remove a stack of colour chips from the machine with the “dirty chip” in it or in this case, a twenty five pound chip.
If the machine has kept the cash chips separate then it would not be too difficult for any dealer to do this manually while the inspector is busy watching the other table. This is something that they will almost certainly be doing if the ball is dropping on that table and especially if that dealer is a trainee.
So the cheating dealer has ample time to construct a dirty stack of their own in order to pass it out to their accomplice who in turn pockets the twenty five pound and is literally playing for free with the twenty five pound of colour. With an unobservant inspector, this trick can be repeated many times and as long as the player is careful with the cashing out process then they are very unlikely to get detected.
One of the problems that the gaming industry faces is to do with the attitude of the staff that they employ. There are large numbers of croupiers and inspectors who view themselves as underpaid for what they do and in some cases actually are. They take abuse of a psychological and verbal nature on a daily basis and many of them are unhappy in their jobs and do not envisage any long term future in that industry.
This creates an environment where many members of staff literally have stopped caring about doing their job to the best of their ability and are virtually operating on automatic pilot. But it also creates an element of “it is us against them” type of attitude with many members of staff but casino management seem slow to realise this! The real danger for casinos is when a member of staff reaches that meltdown point where they just stop caring and are not overly concerned about losing their jobs.
In my experience as a croupier, I would estimate that an average of about one thousand pound per club per week is swindled by staff who are on the take. This equates to over six million pound a year just in the United Kingdom alone.
