Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods
Deliberate Payout Errors (Dealer Collusion)
How it works
The dealer intentionally miscalculates a payout in the player’s favor. A dealer can also slip extra chips into a payout, often hidden under other chips. (“Capping” usually means a player adding chips to a winning bet after the result.) The dealer might also intentionally “misunderstand” a bet amount, paying a $100 bet as if it were a $200 bet. Totaling errors on come bets, place bets, and odds bets are common because the payout calculations are complex and vary by number. A complicit dealer can make systematic “errors” that appear to be honest mistakes.
