The dice bit of Ocean's 13 is definitely out of their hands - the story is that, they infiltrated into the dice manufacturing facility and altered how the dice were made altogether. I remember because there was a sub-plot that the dice factory workers (in Mexico) went on strike and to alleviate that issue - they were thinking of just paying the workers fairly which they thought were going to be tens of millions of dollars, but turns out it was just a few tens of thousands. Much like them, the billion dollar gambling industry should pay their workers fairly.

Cheating is by passing the rules. I have yet to ever go into a casino where they do not play by the agreed upon rules. People who cheat are the ones breaking the rules. Edit: and the odds in their favor doesn't make it rigged. That is the rules, that you, as the player, agreed to. Don't like the rules? Don't play.

That's exactly what I heard, most casinos actually encourage card counting vs discouraging it because most people think they can but can't (and often that offsets the ones that can, and if a casino gets a reputation for refusing card counters or treating them harshly then they can end up losing that revenue over the one or two that can actually pull it off).

[@meganoob12]

no they don‘t. Professional card counters are backed off regularly. They even back off people who are not counting cards (when they fit a certain bet spread) because casino's are paranoid. These guys are real dirtbags. They know they have an edge and will eventually win the players money… but when some one is actually winning, they throw them out

I'd bet some of the high end dealers could possibly make more than he does if they've got the right personality.

[@joshcowart2446]

A) he most likely has no say in why they make b) they probably make quite a bit off tips. It’s like many servers I know. They don’t want to switch to a European system where they get a higher hourly wage with no tips because they make quite a bit once tips are added in. I usually play at $5-10 tables and I tip several dollars every time I get a good hand.
