Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods
False Call Bet Processing
How it works
The dealer accepts and processes “call bets” (verbal bets without immediate chips) from a colluding player, booking the bet after the outcome is known if it wins, or ignoring it if it loses. Alternatively, the dealer books the call bet but never actually collects the chips - essentially giving the player a free wager. In another variation, the dealer returns the player’s losing chips when they should have been collected, or collects them “for the house” but actually pockets them for later splitting with the player.

On the record
Call bet scams are a classic form of dealer-agent collusion that has been documented since the early days of casino craps.
