Slot Cheats March Through the South

Casinos across the South have caught several crews using light-wands against the region's slots but the casino industry refuses to take the threat seriously. Despite a handful of arrests, several adept crews continue to operate quite profitably. In pursuing slot cheats, the industry has drawn the line at dealing with a reformed cheat who has offered bit of help.

A developer of light-wands and other slot cheating devices who made quite a name for himself in the gaming industry has been turned away in offering his help. The developer’s “unsavory reputation” and felony convictions in three states have gotten him banned-for-life from Nevada casinos. After 20 years of tricking slot machines, he's trying to sell his patent on a device, which cheats the cheater, ‘The Protector’ Nevada gaming officials banned ‘The Protector’ once they learned who invented it. They were afraid it could be converted into a cheating device; something its inventor says is not possible. Besides that, the former slot cheater says he's a changed man, one who could help his former victims save a lot of money.

So, instead of turning to someone truly in the know about the casinos’ weaknesses, the industry has chosen to bury its head in the sand. All the better for the cheats.

In other insider casino cheating news, Bats and his crew report increased success at hole-carding and tracking Aces, again up in Reno. I know that this is not the most exciting update as it’s the same thing he was up to last time I passed along word from him. But, that simply means he is doing well without any significant steam from the casinos’ security departments.

With The holidays approaching, especially NEW YEARS, the most profitable night of the year, I am sure I will have more from Bats and other former teammates coming soon.

Roulette Scanner Device, like the Ritz Casino scammers used

I knew it would only be a matter of time before devices purported to be similar to those used by the team who recently beat the roulette wheels at the Ritz Casino ( see earlier post)would be for sale over the internet. Well now they are selling scanning devices at predictroulette.com

Those of you who read my book know that MANY scams for beating the casinos have been introduced to me over the years. I was always very discriminating and only took up a few of the offers. I NEVER used any tools or devices to cheat casinos. In fact, I almost got burned on the one temptation to use a device.
But, given that the law in the UK would, for the time being, seem to still allow for the legal operation of such devices, I’d be curious enough to check this out were in the UK right now. There are many determining factors I’d consider before investing in such a device. To name a few, I’d need to field test it on a neutral wheel and get a sense of the dynamics of implementing the device, how many partners would be needed, the risk of exposure, etc. I would also need to research what other jurisdictions would likely view the use of such a device as ‘legal’ or at least not strictly illegal.

I will be in the UK in the coming months so perhaps I’ll check it out then.

If anyone else out there tries out one of these scanners, I’d be curious to learn how they do with it (confidentiality guaranteed).
