As RTichard mentions cheating in a prior post, this may be appropriate.
It's very obvious as most casinos use cards that DO NOT have the white borders as the eyes can be mesmerized so to speak and not see the dealing of seconds or cards from the bottom by the dealer. In all poker rooms the borders are white to prevent this in Nevada; but not in BJ. It was told to me in Reno years ago to watch for cheating mechanics in the winter months.
But I doubt the larger casinos use mechanics much; too much to lose in their license and reputation.
2) Free alcohol is a form of cheating used by the casinos is it not?
3) Preferential shuffling by the dealer when the count goes up whether on cue of the pit or from the dealer's training is a form of cheating by the casinos as it reduces the players edge when the count is plus.
It's like the IRS switching and changing the rules and regulations where the public is confused and unaware. Just because it is done or legal, does it make the practice right?
