Meh you might not be able to do all the same things but less advanced slight of hand like past posting is still possible at least in small card rooms. The ROI is pretty low since you can’t slide the big bets in every time you’d like but still some pretty sketchy cheating can still go down as long as you aren’t at a big Vegas casino.

i have to agree! one of the best channels i have randomely stumbled upon this year, amazing video quality, and the way he structures the stories keep them exciting! Keep smashing it bro you'll blow up one day
I worked in Cincinnati form 1975-1985. There were Hustlers (Larry Flynt) and Playboy clubs in the city. Cincinnati was known as a very conservative city then. The Hustlers club was soon closed down. When the city closed down about 1 AM there were a lot of cars crossing the bridge headed towards Newport, Kentucky. lol I have been to Newport several time back in the old days. The mobs in Chicago moved and built a lot of the casinos in Vegas. Frank Rosenthal was one of the famous mobsters from Chicago who operated in Las Vegas. I grew up in Southern Illinois where there was lots of bootleg joints and gangsters back in the old days. The Shelton and Birger gangs were the most famous! I was born in 1940 so I have seen a lot! Enjoyed your story and video.

@ blah blah blah. When you bring religion in to the conversation (WAY more corrupt than any casino) you invalidate everything after. Religion is for the weak and people who lack self belief. It should be left in the past where it belongs. Do you also believe in Santa and the tooth fairy?
So this story really fascinated me and I did a little further research ( such as I could, fairly limited but consistent info) cuz u wanted to know what became of her. Turns out no one knows, she apparently never turned up in Nevada casinos again ( and you know that’s accurate because they would have certainly spotted her) and there are several throrurs that, with her identity exposed, the mob got a hold of her and offed her for her cheats. Considering this was 1980-81 that is very plausible.
The writing (story telling) is amazing, the narration (love that voice), the editing... it's TV production quality. I hope you end up with the millions of subs you deserve.
Were the casinos not using decks of cards with their logo on it back then? All the casinos these days have cards that are specifically printed with their logos (and can't be easily faked), they keep tight control over the cards (so no-one can get at them) and when the deck is no longer used, its either marked somehow in a way that's immediately obvious (e.g. punched with a hole through the middle) and resold/given away or its completely destroyed/shredded.
There's a reason casinos do every little thing they do these days and most of it is learned from cheaters almost every procedure we do is to prevent either cheating or collusion
The fact that nobody talks about strategies from the banned book called Forbidden Gambling Methods speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
Amazing that scammers leave these botted comments on so many different video genres. It's always about a "banned book" that doesn't actually exist, and if you search for the book with any search engine, the only results you'll find are the recent comments promoting it and the scammers site selling it.
There is no need for a casino to cheat a customer. mathematically, if there is no cheating on either side, the casino wins more often. When Trump had his casinos, he would throw out high rollers when they won - he was too stupid to realise that a high roller winning, is just a fish taking a worm on a hook.
It's actually not legal for them to cheat you. If you AGREE to play a game with shit odds, they're not cheating you when math averages you out into being a loser. ☺️ But yeah, it's fucking crazy that they're allowed to offer games with such shitty odds. Blackjack and baccarat are obviously not too bad but slot machines have INSANE odds, if they actually showed you what your chances to get anything are, no one would play them!!!
I often check names to see if these stories are real. Yes this one is. Her name Ida Sommers. A misdemeanour and a $2,000 fine is nuts. Maybe they did not know how much she scamed. I have read that often bank robbers pee their pants. Luckily she did not too. Guess the kids had all money could buy after this.
A surprising amount of restraint from this crew considering they were able to keep it up for so long without getting sloppy. Only real thing they seemed to suffer from was letting too many people in on the scheme from outside with the shady dealers.
It used to happen... imagine knowing how to count cards and use various strategies that are common now, but back then, when the casino had not worked it out.
@@TILT223 Imagine using the infamous *End Play* method, at single deck to gain a 9% advantage! In those days top counters knew exactly how many cards were remaining to be played from the deck of 52 cards. Suppose heaps of "good" cards were left to be dealt, and only 15 cards are left to be dealt. BUT, you know the dealer will shuffle after next round. Only you at the table. What do you do? :) Lol. That's right, you place bets on three spots (i.e., playing three separate blackjack hands at once) and get ALL those high cards. :) Imagine that. :)
@@TILT223 Hell, I played single deck 3:2 at the El Cortez just last year. And there are still probably a dozen Vegas casinos that offer single deck 6:5.
@@fuzzzoneyeah as long as they keep the house edge above what you can get from counting then it's fine to let the game be played. But if you're paying out at the wrong rate, it's very dangerous to allow a game like that to be played at your casino. 😂

Cheating the casino is a victimless crime cheating at the game of family monopoly is worse than what she did at all the other people you have on this channel. Thank you for the videos really enjoyed them paul
Holy shit, Ida may have been caught but this is like best case scenario. Caught by the FBI, not the mob who probably would have killed her, and effectively just given a slap on the wrist. Basically given an out and allowed to keep the majority of her winnings.
It absolutely blows me away that they were able to get away (for awhile) with switching in a cooler in a shoe game. Even with a dealer collaborating, I wouldn't have thought it would be possible, even before they had cameras everywhere.
so you're saying that someone like yourself who has zero experience as a security officer was able to be fooled by a professional cheat?!?!! No way!!! Thank you so much for posting everyone came her just to find out if this surprisees you in aany way
Great point, I didn't even think of that! She definately ratted on everyone to save herself a harsher sentence, but perhaps she was just scared of finally getting caught
Something doesn't add up Casino cards are made specifically For each individual casino.you can't go to some store and buy a deck of cards that are exactly like those at the casino. Even back in the day, all decks had marking on them that you can't see.all the casino had to do was have some inferred light that would show immediately if the deck was theres or not. it's almost impossible to believe they got away changing decks on a constant basis. Once or twice maybe but over a long period of time no way!
@Ishbikes I spent a lot of time in Vegas working not in the casino itself but as a vendor. I was able to know many of those who worked in the hotels .I can tell you that changing a complete black jack shoe with multiple decks of cards is vertully impossible . when that woman was Caught she received a nothing sentence. Cheaters in Vegas are often given harsh sentences of years in prison. This leads me to believe she did nothing of the scale of what was shown in this video. I don't know for that for sure, but It sure seems that way.
@@Jeff-p5i2w What you are saying makes a lot of sense. I want to add that if someone from the "inside" had access to fresh packs of cards, THAT is the most likely way, on shift, the stacked deck would be introduced, but the idea of openly switching an entire deck of cards with another deck that is right on the table under the dealer's nose, seems very far-fetched. Very Hollywood-ish.
Not even the government, it could have been anyone. If people just help people instead of doing everything they can to avoid it then the world gets better. I'm not talking socialism or anything, I'm just saying go out of your way to help even just a few people get work and help them learn to stand on their own feet and you can save lives! Can't help people that don't want help but there's plenty that just don't know how to do things and those are the ones you can definitely help! ☺️

Truth is on slot machines is ,the more money you take to gamble with, the better your odds are, on hitting a jackpot. No one has the numbers," fiqured out". Its just," LUCK". PERIOD
Have you noticed that none of the cheats and scammers ever use their winnings to set themselves up for life? It seems they always waste it on superficial things like watches cars, and fine dining meaning they are left with nothing- or maybe we never hear about those who pulled off the scam and then retired
It's usually because they don't care about the money so much as the thrill of cheating and getting away with it. It's that thrill that makes them keep doing it until they are caught.
@davidtydeman1434 -- I think you nailed it at the end. Those who got away with it and were never caught, and who weren't in it for the thrill, but simply as a way to make money, left gambling life and set up other businesses which they ran until they were ready to retire. Who would suspect the owner of a franchise pizza place or sandwich place or burger joint of having ripped off the casinos for tons of money?
7:48 as you can see here, while doing my job in the 60s, as a spotter, I wasn't so freaked out about seeing men walking the catwalks up above the pit, however, I was actually a bit more freaked out and surprised at seeing that the men walking the catwalks up above had no genitals!! After that, I actually decided instead to become a waiter at the Mint Hotel in downtown Las Vegas Nevada, which ended up being only slightly less freakish… :-)
Why doesn't the casino just have the dealer shuffle the shoe after the first could hands? Or couldnt they have one guy just observe the shoe and just the shoe? Or like, lock the shoe so that, even if someone manages to get the key, it would take a while and make more noise. Or just replace shoes with the ones they make in china for walmart which btw good luck wiggling those cards into it.
She did not get a $2000 fine after being charged as the figurehead behind everything this video implies she was up to, not unless the casino dropped most of the major charges in exchange for her huge stash of jewelry, which she might have purchased from company-town jewelry stores in the first place, so they might have already gotten half of her winnings back again on their fat retail margins. Plus she likely paid almost nothing in taxes, so what she retained to buy herself out of a shallow grave might have been fairly substantial. Probably most of her booze and her fancy dinners also went back to the overlords of the company town, just like all the rest. Whatever happened, it seems the precise details are now lost to history.
Gambling is a cheating game. Every players will try to outsmart the dealer and the casino also try to cheat the money out of the players setting out the rules of the game to their own advantages. The smartest will win. There's no such thing as fair game in gambling. For the players, no risk means no gain. The elements of luck doesn't apply. Your really have to be a very good cheat when gambling, by whatever means.
#Tilt Some polite advice if I may. The video you made is slick and must have taken a lot of work. What lets it down is your enunciation. It would sound much better if for example you started to pronounce the letter "t". I am not hating on you I am honestly trying to make your product better.
Fantastic content, but any chance you can speak 10% slower (or give a breath on a comma). I live in a non English speaking country, I can understand this but I can’t relax to it as I need to be alert as it’s quick. My Spanish friends wouldn’t have a clue trying to relax and translate in real time. As before the content is brilliant
I always find it amazing how the Nevada gaming and FBI gets involved when it comes to money that the government is getting a profit from. Do they go after casinos as quickly ? Nope, does the FBI go after the government crooks as quickly? I know it's a big no, priorities are all wrong when it comes to the federal government and who they nab.
Just curious, TILT are you or were you a gambler? I supported myself while I was in school by playing blackjack. I just needed to win $100 for the week. This is back in 1996.
7:00 ??? How does this cheat actually work? Cards are dealt face up and there's no way to swap an ace out with another card because they are all exposed when dealt to the player. I guess I'm an idiot because I can't figure this out.
When they started in the '60's, the games would have been handheld single deck games. The narrator also mentions that they were allowed to touch the cards with both hands then, which would have made it easier. There are still a few handheld double deck games around, but casinos are very strict about players only using one hand on the cards, no doubt in order to keep people from doing exactly this. To explain, in a handheld or "pitch" blackjack game, the players' first two cards are dealt face down, and the players pick them up. If you have a blackjack, or want to split or double, you put your cards on the table face up, and play proceeds as it would in a face up game. If you want a hit, you scratch your cards on the table. If you want to stand, you tuck your first two cards under your chips. If you bust, you toss your first to cards on the table. The audacity of switching in a cooler in a shoe game, as they did later, even with the dealer "in on it", is what amazes me. No way you could get away with that now, considering that the casinos have very good cameras everywhere.
Your explanation of the cheating move makes no sense and shows you don’t know what you’re talking about. Knowing “when to bet big” only matters for future hands, not the one just dealt.
I wouldn't advise betting bugs... it's important to know when to bet big in line with the future cards coming up - see the video for the details how they did it :)
I'm sorry Mr TILT but something about this story doesn't add up. @4:40 you state that she learns through the casinos player profile, that this man is "More of a cheat". So why the f*#$ does the casinos let him (and eventually her) cheat their business's?! Doesn't make any sense
He's probably confusing card counting with cheating. The guy is probably known to be a counter. I dunno. Or they have some suspicion about him but no proof. Casinos keep extensive notes on all their regular players, especially the high rollers.

She knows if she doesn’t get a job soon her chances of survival are slim (insert skull) 🤣
My question is always this. WHAT THE HELL DID THEY SPEND ALL THE MONEY ON? It makes no sense.
Expensive vegas luxury.
Their frequent trips to the toilet and regular sniffing makes no sense either.
They typically squander it. It isn't the money they like so much as the thrill of cheating and getting away with it.
11:04 who the hell hits a 19 when dealer is showing an at best 19? I can't quite make out what the dealer has. But no face card for sure.
So who's the girl in the thumbnail?
what did they used to use before long shoes? curious how she could "swap" a deck of cards on a table wtf
What was her name? Did I miss it?
Like your content and your channel but you keep letting your voice drop, consequently I have to use subtitles while watching. 👍
Noted, will fix this. When you say drop, do you mean in terms of volume or pitch?
@ you drop your projection . That’s just my opinion. I do a lot of drama so I’m conscious of it. ❤️
Its about time casinos eliminate indoor smoking.
Yeah. Right now some casinos have a smoke-free zone, and some (like Park MGM in vegas) are completely smoke-free. But most are still smoking places.

Rule #1: Never talk to the Police
If there was no movie called Casino, the story and referencing would be different in this video.
Was Sharon Stones character loosely based on this woman in Casino the movie?
No not at all, thats a different story altogether.
7:48 as you can see here, while doing my job in the 60s, as a spotter, I wasn't so freaked out about seeing men walking the catwalks up above the pit, however, I was actually a bit more freaked out and surprised at seeing that the men walking the catwalks up above had no genitals!!
After that, I actually decided instead to become a waiter at the Mint Hotel in downtown Las Vegas Nevada, which ended up being only slightly less freakish… :-)
LOL
@voicetube explain they had no genitals
@@Jeff-p5i2w Go to the timestamp I give at the beginning of my comment and see (or I guess "testically," don't see) what I'm talking about 🙂
You could never get away with this today. Too many camera's and eyes watching.
True, everything is traced now.
Cheating the criminals. OK with me.
I sincerely hope she was stacking her loot and made some sound investments because she got mad lucky!
Why doesn't the casino just have the dealer shuffle the shoe after the first could hands? Or couldnt they have one guy just observe the shoe and just the shoe? Or like, lock the shoe so that, even if someone manages to get the key, it would take a while and make more noise. Or just replace shoes with the ones they make in china for walmart which btw good luck wiggling those cards into it.
She did not get a $2000 fine after being charged as the figurehead behind everything this video implies she was up to, not unless the casino dropped most of the major charges in exchange for her huge stash of jewelry, which she might have purchased from company-town jewelry stores in the first place, so they might have already gotten half of her winnings back again on their fat retail margins.
Plus she likely paid almost nothing in taxes, so what she retained to buy herself out of a shallow grave might have been fairly substantial. Probably most of her booze and her fancy dinners also went back to the overlords of the company town, just like all the rest.
Whatever happened, it seems the precise details are now lost to history.
Gambling is a cheating game. Every players will try to outsmart the dealer and the casino also try to cheat the money out of the players setting out the rules of the game to their own advantages. The smartest will win. There's no such thing as fair game in gambling. For the players, no risk means no gain. The elements of luck doesn't apply. Your really have to be a very good cheat when gambling, by whatever means.
The only cheaters in Vegas are the casinos
Some might ask: Is cheating a casino a true crime?
Mate your channel is tv level. You should offer your shows to mainstream tv.
So kind thanks man, we do try :)
Wait, when did Atlantic City ever close down its casinos?
See the years!
Everytime I cheat I still lose
You're not doing it right then ;)
#Tilt Some polite advice if I may. The video you made is slick and must have taken a lot of work. What lets it down is your enunciation. It would sound much better if for example you started to pronounce the letter "t". I am not hating on you I am honestly trying to make your product better.
Noted thanks.
Man I’m so weak, I see a pretty girl in the thumbnail and I click on the video
"thousands of casinos shut down overnight".....??? LOL. We don't even. have 1,000 today. Maybe dozens closed?
Not criminal.. just Wall Street
never explain how they switch the 5 decks
They just had another shoe
She definitely won in this. Full on admitted to cheating and just got a slap on the wrist lmao
Yes, one of the rarest winners...
Its more like one night you have it all, the next your broke.
MY GOD, I would LOVE to know more about this Patriot who Government tried to vilify!!
MAGA ‘24!!!
Fantastic content, but any chance you can speak 10% slower (or give a breath on a comma). I live in a non English speaking country, I can understand this but I can’t relax to it as I need to be alert as it’s quick. My Spanish friends wouldn’t have a clue trying to relax and translate in real time. As before the content is brilliant
Certainly! Thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoy the channel.
I always find it amazing how the Nevada gaming and FBI gets involved when it comes to money that the government is getting a profit from. Do they go after casinos as quickly ? Nope, does the FBI go after the government crooks as quickly? I know it's a big no, priorities are all wrong when it comes to the federal government and who they nab.
Just curious, TILT are you or were you a gambler?
I supported myself while I was in school by playing blackjack. I just needed to win $100 for the week. This is back in 1996.
Ider is a talented lady
Hey 400$ a day aint bad flirting all day must be annoying tho
7:00 ??? How does this cheat actually work? Cards are dealt face up and there's no way to swap an ace out with another card because they are all exposed when dealt to the player. I guess I'm an idiot because I can't figure this out.
When they started in the '60's, the games would have been handheld single deck games. The narrator also mentions that they were allowed to touch the cards with both hands then, which would have made it easier. There are still a few handheld double deck games around, but casinos are very strict about players only using one hand on the cards, no doubt in order to keep people from doing exactly this.
To explain, in a handheld or "pitch" blackjack game, the players' first two cards are dealt face down, and the players pick them up. If you have a blackjack, or want to split or double, you put your cards on the table face up, and play proceeds as it would in a face up game. If you want a hit, you scratch your cards on the table. If you want to stand, you tuck your first two cards under your chips. If you bust, you toss your first to cards on the table.
The audacity of switching in a cooler in a shoe game, as they did later, even with the dealer "in on it", is what amazes me. No way you could get away with that now, considering that the casinos have very good cameras everywhere.
@@russlehman2070 ok that makes sense then. Appreciate the information
The audio is correct, the video is deceiving. Black Jack used to be dealt face down, and the player would pick up the cards with one hand.
I more so wonder how can you swap decks? You would have to have the original. I just don't see how they would not notice different cards
The Chicago outfit was skimming off the top and she skimmed at even higher level.
Are you talking about the Stardust casino? haha
REALLY?
Melena Tara
It would be nice if they had someone who knew how to speak English do the narration.
It takes too long to get to the point
cause it aint real
Indeed, pacing was a bit off
@@110jmartin011u calling bs? U think Molly’s game was bs as well?
The fact that nobody talks about the forbidden book Forbidden Gambling Methods speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
'swindling casinos' - that's the best joke; casinos are fleecing regular people 24/7
See? A woman could have the world in her hands & *still want more.*
Because none of the cheating men ever became too greedy...
And they say casino are well anit-cheat lol
I’m calling bullshit on this video.
Do your research
Is this a true story
Yeah. They all are on this channel and fairly well researched too
Yes.
Your explanation of the cheating move makes no sense and shows you don’t know what you’re talking about. Knowing “when to bet big” only matters for future hands, not the one just dealt.
I wouldn't advise betting bugs... it's important to know when to bet big in line with the future cards coming up - see the video for the details how they did it :)
@ I did that. Your explanation makes no sense, so you’re either wrong or just can’t explain well.
Crime doesn't pay... unless you meet "certain criteria" then it's just a $2k slap on the wrist!
I'm sorry Mr TILT but something about this story doesn't add up. @4:40 you state that she learns through the casinos player profile, that this man is "More of a cheat". So why the f*#$ does the casinos let him (and eventually her) cheat their business's?! Doesn't make any sense
He's probably confusing card counting with cheating. The guy is probably known to be a counter. I dunno. Or they have some suspicion about him but no proof. Casinos keep extensive notes on all their regular players, especially the high rollers.
@@since1876 Thanks mate this is definitely a plausible answer. Best Wishes

Total BS story. She is not in the Black Book and no evidence of any prosecution involving her has ever been presented.
Ida^ but ya might wanna google that again bud
@@dyllanm2359 delete what dude?
@@dyllanm2359 Why isn’t she in the Black Book ?
I agree BS but a great story! Should make a movie.
