Previously some players have colluded with dealers to replace the ball. The new ball has a magnet, and can be controlled with electronic equipment. The equipment may not make the ball and on a particular number. However, it can make the ball jump out of a pocket or area that does not favour the player. If done skillfully, the ball behaviour looks natural. It only needs to be done a few times using high stake bets, and the team can walk out with a fortune. I have been very few cases with this technology have been used. A more common form of roulette cheating involves the use of electronic prediction devices. These are called roulette computers, and they predict the winning number based on the speed of the rotor and ball. However, whether or not they are illegal cheating depends on the jurisdiction they are used in. In some jurisdictions, they are highly illegal. But in other jurisdictions, they are perfectly legal although still prohibited by the casinos rules. Using a roulette computer can get you banned from a casino, but you won’t necessarily be charged by the police.
Another method for cheating at roulette is wheel gaffing. This is tampering with roulette wheel is to create physical imperfections. The result is a biased roulette wheel, where specific numbers or sectors spin more often than others. An example is to loosen the pocket separator of a particular pocket. At the time of tampering, only the individual who is responsible will know about it, and can exploit it before the casino detects the imperfection. The effect of the loose pocket separator is that the ball will hit it, and the momentum will be mostly absorbed. The ball then lands in a sector nearby. Such a strategy usually requires collusion with casino staff.
Dice Games
Any dice for a game like craps is very carefully manufactured. This is to prevent any bias in the outcome of roles. For example, any indents of the dots on a dice are uneven on particular sites. This would cause particular sides to roll out more than others. There is no significant bias in any dice used by casinos. But many players have discreetly swapped dice in games such as craps. A common technology is the use of magnets to make particular sides role on demand. Usually the technology is not perfect, meaning it will not work on every roll. However, the player only needs a slight advantage to profit in the long-term. This kind of scam is usually done in collusion with casino staff, but is not always the case. There are countless other illegal cheating methods to win at the casino. The methods explained above, with the exception of the roulette computers, are illegal in all casinos throughout the world. The sole exception being casinos run on through ships, because they operate in international waters where there is no gaming law.
