Part II: Table Game Cheating · Dice & Craps Cheating Methods

Money Switch

How it works

An easy method to switch dice in a private game using cash or a wallet as cover. The cheat conceals gaffed dice behind or within a billfold, wallet, or stack of money. When reaching into a pocket “for money,” the cheat retrieves the gaffed dice along with the cash. The cash is placed on the table (as a bet or to make change) while the gaffed dice are simultaneously positioned for the switch. Alternatively, the cheat may pick up the legitimate dice while “counting money,” using the bill as cover for the switch.

On the record

A common amateur-to-intermediate switch method, more suited to private games than professional casino environments.
