Sal Piacente, a Brooklyn-born casino consultant, gaming protection specialist and trainer who was once a blackjack dealer, helped kick off the conference at the Tropicana Las Vegas on Tuesday.
“A limited workforce and a lack of training among dealers and supervisors have made casinos primed for advantage players and cheaters to thrive since the start of the pandemic, an author and cheating expert told attendees. to the World Gambling Protection Conference,” said Piacente.
Cheating occurs when dealers make false shuffles, steal chips, or ignore players who limit (add) their bets, all of which are illegal. Cheaters even use cameras to detect hidden cards, placing them on buttons, sleeves, and other places.
“Cheaters and advantage players get away with murder, especially in understaffed casinos.”
Casino surveillance and security experts from around the world are meeting in Las Vegas through Thursday to learn about the latest threats to the casino industry. Every year, the Expo brings together conference delegates and leading manufacturers of casino gaming security, surveillance and protection products to showcase new products.
There are plenty of opportunities to visit the show floor throughout the day to learn more about the latest technology and interact with product experts and other casino end users.
The expo is open today, Thursday, March 9, from 11 am to 4 pm.
