      The common denominator on almost all of these (initially) successful scammers is greed. I've seen it over and over and over again. It's ironic that in trying to cheat the gamble, they essentially manufacture a gambling addiction where the game they are playing uses the threat of being caught as the stake being played.
      They say to themselves things like, "I'll stop when I get to $100K, it's a nice round number" and suddenly they're at $120K and want to go for 250, then 500, then a mil, and so on. Just like a gambler. Hypnotized by their own success and convinced it will last forever, so they up the bet (the risk) and then lose it all.

      The shitty thing is they dont let you play schemes or count cards. In US they solved scheme play on roulette by adding 00 and all the schemes go bust. But card counters can succed just because of the greed on the side of the casinos , if they were to shuffle after just 2-3 out of 7-8 packs being played card counters would have no chance. The caveat is that shuffling takes time and casinos consider that they are losing money because people dont play when cards are being shuffled so they run it to the extreme of 6 out of 8 decks being played before reshuffle which is like a God given gift for card counters.

    As a (not fully educated) physicist with some knowledge of electronics and integrated circuits, its just so dumb why a machine would generate seemingly/mathematically/virtual random numbers. Just add a geiger counter that listens to ambient nuclear radiation and get some REAL random numbers. I sat in front of a fascinating art installation for hours, that responded with the colors it displays and the sound it makes to 6 different detectors designed and tuned to look for cosmic rays. So that artwork changed the visual and audio landscape based on extraterrestrial signals specifically.
    In a computer, you can get better pseudo-random numbers from temperature sensors, like CPU temperature, and you can get the fan speeds from the cooling from CPU and graphics card. These vary based on temperature, air density, pressure, moisture in the air, wear of the equipment. Hall effect sensors will notice movements nearby. You can make many unbeatable pseudorandom numbers from a small input of tuly random numbers.
    A microphone would be the easiest unbeatable option. It picks up noise within the machine and noise from outside the machine. Turn that into a digital audio stream, which you then do not save, but digitally grab 1s and zeros out of those data packets to feed your random number generator. A casino floor is never silent to a sensitive microphone. If you pick individual ones and zeros from a live streamed audio feed noone else has access to, that gives random numbers, even if the machine records much of its own sounds.

    This happened in Bally's Atlantic City. I actually started working there a month after the incident. The guy I was working with explained the whole scam to me one night. The player kept betting 10 9 spots for $2 each. He said it was just strange how the numbers were coming out and he felt something was up. He asked him for his d/l after he won and it was a Reno, NV address. Security/ Surveillance was on the phone with him and told him to just be pleasant and stall while they looked into this. The ticket should have actually paid more but there was $100,000 aggregate payout limit at the time.

    It’s very wild to me how easily I was taken by it. I do have ADHD so it’s very easy for me to relapse on these gambling apps, and the “time out” stuff is a load of crap. The fact that you, the user, are able to just turn it off or set a different limit makes it all useless. The amount of times I say, out loud, that “okay if I reach “x” number I will stop and cash it all out” or “if I lose this hand I’ll stop” and then almost immediately lose the rest of my winnings or money afterwards is scary. It’s like a parasite is making my choices for me in my own head and it sucks.

    My understanding the only cheat that the casinos have not figured out how to block is the palmed $10,000 chip at the roulette table.
    You put down a $10 chip and a $10,000 chip under it. Placed so the cameras can’t see the $10,000 chip. When you loose you use sleight of hand to switch out the stack with two $10 chips.
    Do this 30 times and you are more than 50/50 that you won once. When you do you don’t touch anything. Your payout is 35 to 1 on $10,010.
    Of course if your sleight of hand is that good you don’t have to be cheating. You can just get a high paying job. That’s probably why the casinos has not solved this one.

    And more importantly, modern slot machines allow the casino to cheat in what shuold be a game of chance, by making sure the jackpot is not paid out until they have made enough money.
    In a noncheating game, a million-to-one jackpot would have perhaps a one-in-two-million chance of happening, regardless of when you play. When the cheat it, there is exactly zero chance for the first two million spins, so the casino is not only better of by the odds as in a fair game of fresh decks blackjack or roulette, but they have a zero chance of ever losing anything.
