Every day around the world, millions of people visit casinos. Some of them lose fortunes at gambling clubs. But still, few win at casinos. No one would argue that such people are very, very rare. Almost all these people used tricks that helped them to get rich.
Who Was Wang Dong?
The following discussion focuses on the dealer who managed to destroy a lot of casinos in a few days. This happened in the late nineties in Australia. One of the casino dealers, Wang Dong, decided to get rich. Since he worked in this industry, developing some tricks and winning at the casino was much easier. He acted not alone. To do this, he used the help of a casino croupier.
Don came up with a pretty simple but lucrative way to make a profit in the casino. It consisted of a false shuffling.
Its development took him a few months. This shuffling was relevant only in the baccarat game, where it all depends on luck. Before the cards are dealt, the player bets and has a chance to win or draw.
- The fraud was that the dealer just shuffled a part of the deck.
- This part of the deck of cards consisted of those returned after the dealer's distribution.
- Wang and several people from his team sitting with him at the table wrote down the cards and knew the result of the next hand.
- They visited casinos every day and made the largest bets allowed.
They won a quarter million Australian dollars from casinos in just a few days.
How Was He Busted?
Sometime later, employees and owners of casinos started to realize that someone was cheating on them. In 1998, they had good enough equipment to help the security service monitor what was happening in the casino. At first, they could not understand where the money flows to. Then, they noticed the tiny group of people who made the biggest bets and constantly won. It became clear that it was them.
They had to determine how exactly they cheated the casino. After a long observation, one of the officers noticed that the croupier shuffled a part of the deck.
Thus, this cheating was disclosed. Casino employees were detained, and their guilt was proved.
Police had to catch their leader. But it was also easy, and security was already waiting for the moment when Wang appeared in the casino and then arrested him.
What Happened to the Cheater?
All the money that they stole from the casinos in such a short period was seized. And the fraudster was sentenced to three years of imprisonment.
