Tracking the Casino Computer Wars: Who’s Winning—the Casino or the Cheat?

The talk will open with an entertaining demonstration of what is widely considered the best casino-cheating move ever that made millions and fooled state-of-the-art video surveillance technology only because the move was so simple-stupid. Marcus will move on to cover how modern-day casino cheats use computers to scam tables and how casinos battle back with their own. He will discuss roulette computers, RFID technology, hacking into online gaming, and hacking into land casinos’ security systems.

For 25 years, Richard Marcus directed sophisticated casino-cheating teams across the entire world. He developed and carried out a series of cheating moves that not only fooled surveillance video cameras but also turned them into his allies. Today Marcus serves as an international casino game-protection consultant training casino floor and surveillance personnel. He has published five books and written dozens of magazine articles on the subject, and has been a guest on several network TV news and entertainment shows including NBC Today and Entertainment Tonight.
