How to Detect Casino Cheating at BlackjackThis book deals with a controversial subject -- insider cheating in casinos. Although the days of unregulated bust-out joints is over (at least in the US it is) it is not impossible to encounter some kind of cheating at casino blackjack tables. According to the author (who worked as a casino exec for a number of years), nowadays insider cheating in casinos is rare and it mostly happens by the floor staff running their own scams; not by the house running a scam against their customers. Even if the establishments are not to be blamed for such occurrences this book made some noise in the casino community simply because these establishments do not want the subject of the possibility of insider cheating even mentioned. I say, wherever money passes hands there will be some fast hands and the subject can not be ignored. Those who are already familiar with some standard blackjack cheating techniques and strategies will have to read through some descriptions they already know. However, I still found some fresh ideas and even the author's opinion on the subject is well worth the read. Bill Zender worked his way up through the ranks from
dealer all the way to Casino Manager at the Aladdin. He has also worked
for the Nevada Gaming Control Board. His unique perspectives on casino
cheating are a "must read" for the serious blackjack player, as a
cheating dealer can obliterate your bankroll faster than a Vegas floozy.
He discusses seconds-dealing in great detail, and how to detect it from
the players chair. He also discusses methods taken by the casinos (since
they are often victims of cheating dealers as well) and by the
commission. All serious players will hit a bad streak eventually. You
MUST be confident in your ability to determine whether it is luck alone,
or a cheating dealer that is to blame (it's almost always bad luck, but
you gotta know this). If you can't do this, you won't win over the long
haul, it's as simple as that.
