Cheating at roulette was wide spread in Las Vegas till gambling became legalized in 1931. Some managers of casino or dealers want to enlarge the house edge of the casino.
All of them use forbidden methods of roulette cheating. The most well-known among them are: past posting, ball tripping, laser scam, top hatting and use of magnets.
Ways of Casino Cheating
As has been said before, some casinos want to enlarge its house edge and don’t mind to use cheating methods with the help of experienced dealer.
Ball Effect
Ball effect is a popular way to cheat on the roulette. It is evident that only the croupier and his actions can influence the roulette. Therefore, a dealer is an experienced professional who can use his trained muscles in order the ball land in a certain slot.
There is one well-known incident when a ball with an internal magnet was in use to cheat the croupier. The player was able to move the ball to the winning area. This attempt was discovered but the casino is still curious how the cheater managed to change the ball.
Also it is possible to use some sticky substance for the Roulette pockets for making the ball steady. This method of cheating is possible for both the croupier and the player. And it is almost impossible to notice the process of such cheating during the game.
Ball Tripping
The other effective way to cheat roulette is ball tripping. Sometimes the ball suddenly “stumbles” and inexperienced naive players may consider it to be fortune but it’s not as simple as it seems. This type of cheating needs the cooperation of a gambler and the dealer.
So how do they manage to do this? A very small hole is drilled in upper ball track. Then a tiny controlled pin is placed below the surface. A small lever should be installed under the table. Then the croupier should imperceptibly “catch the moment” to turn on the pin by pushing the lever.
Such methods are very risky and require a lot of skills. So it’s always better to use bonuses and other legal opportunities that casinos offer.
