\nAs players ourselves, we will take this with a grain of salt. Most of the people reporting these "crimes" have no idea how the game is played or what advantage play is. They budle cheating and AP into one bundle. <\/p>\n

\tOf course I am not condoning cheating like some of these guys are doing, things like false shuffling, or dealers purposefully showing whole cards, or a number of other out and out cheating scams.<\/p>\n

\tFrom CNBC
\n\tThe Winning Hand
\n\tThey begin as dealers working in unsuspecting casinos. Van Thu Tran and her husband Phuong Truong embark on a life of crime conning casinos out of millions. They perfect their scam at mini-baccarat and blackjack tables. The only question is: How much can they steal?<\/p>\n

\tFalse Shuffle
\n\tIt’s an age-old card trick. Cheaters know the order of cards before they’re dealt. Using this sleight of hand, corrupt dealers and players can make thousands of dollars in just minutes. The Trans bring the old cheat into the 21st century with hidden microphones and computer programs.<\/p>\n

\tA Family Affair
\n\tFrom the beginning the cheat is a family affair. The Trans recruit relatives and other dealers often down on their luck. The team takes a big risk \u2026 their jobs, criminal prosecution and prison sentences. But the trick is so easy and Tran members ask: "Who are we really hurting?"<\/p>\n

\tOperation Tran Wreck
\n\tVan and Phuong buy jewelry and flashy cars. In the Tran Organization the stolen money is kept at the top. Casino managers become suspicious. The FBI launches Operation Tran Wreck to catch the cheaters in action.<\/p>\n
