Since the very first casino opened its doors, an endless war has raged between the operators trying to protect their money and the criminals trying to steal it.
+
The [casino](https://live.eposbd.net/@lenardboldt78?page=about)'s "Eye in the Sky" catches most of them eventually, but recognizing the signs of a scam unfolding right next to you is a fascinating skill.
+How Cheaters Manipulate Casino Chips +
The most common and arguably the most difficult-to-detect method of table game cheating is a sleight-of-hand maneuver known universally as "past posting."
+
This scam requires absolute, flawless timing, massive distraction, and the steady, lightning-fast hands of a professional close-up magician.
+Modern roulette tables feature advanced sensors to detect any chip movement after the ball dropsDealers are trained to intensely stare at the chips immediately after announcing the winning numberPast posting is a severe felony offense, not a simple misunderstanding of the rules +Card Marking and Edge Sorting +
Cheaters attempt to destroy this mystery by physically marking the high-value cards (like Aces and Faces) so they can be identified from the back.
+
A more sophisticated, highly controversial method popularized by poker legend Phil Ivey is known as "edge sorting."
+Dice Sliding at the Craps Table +
However, highly skilled mechanics attempt a scam known as "dice sliding," which completely removes the random tumble of the dice.
+
To combat this, casinos mandate that both dice must physically bounce off the chaotic, rubber pyramid "alligator" siding at the far end of the table.
