subject: Cheating at Casino - Signals [print this page] Author: Linda Jefferson Author: Linda Jefferson
One of decisions the casino cheaters have to make concerns the signals they will use. Obviously, they cannot say what they are thinking to each other during the game. In fact, they usually pretend not to know each other. Some secret way of communicating must be arranged. This is a must because things will never go exactly as planned. Circumstances are always changing and the successful cheaters must be able to adapt under fire. Signals should be simple. If they become too complex there will inevitably be a costly misunderstanding. The fewer signals the better. Cheaters who have played together for a long time can almost read each other's minds and thus get by on a minimal amount of signals. Never use electronics to signal - that's overkill. In Nevada and New Jersey they have very strict laws against electronic devices, and if you are caught with them you will be in deep trouble. I will give only a few examples of signals and some ideas about what meanings the signals try to convey. Signals can be facial expressions or body movements, and in the right situation can be sounds. The most important signal is one for "heat," and must be relayed to all team members so they can leave. Another signal starts the play. This normally involves a dealer signaling to an agent to come to the table and start playing. A signal to increase the amount of the betting range is a useful signal. Some type of ending the play signal is needed. Finally, signals that represent the numbers 1-10 are very useful. Since the typical signal is an ordinary action (scratching the nose, for instance) there has to be some signal that cancels the last one if it was made in error. Again, keep the signals simple and natural.About the Author:
