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

Pressing the Don’t Pass (Dealer Collusion)

How it works

A dealer collusion scam targeting Don’t Pass bets. The Don’t Pass bettor wins when the shooter sevens out (rolls a 7 before repeating the point). A complicit dealer may: fail to collect a losing Don’t Pass bet after the shooter makes their point; move a Don’t Pass bet from behind the line back to a winning position; or manipulate the lay bet odds in the player’s favor. This is less common than Pass Line collusion because Don’t Pass betting is less popular, but the payouts can be substantial.
