In one
of the world’s most notorious cities, cheating has
been around for as long as the city itself. Go inside Las
Vegas casinos with sophisticated cheaters as they show
how technology and old school methods are used to steal
millions of dollars. Follow the Nevada Gaming Commission,
Casino security teams, and private Investigative Specialists
as they work the other side of the green felt table to
stop these cyber-thieves.
Today,
high-tech and on-body computers have replaced the crude
and simple mechanical devices of
the past. Microwave
transmitters, satellite dishes, mini surveillance cameras
and lasers have become the tools of the trade for cheaters
and enforcers alike. How are police agencies protecting
the gambling industry? In a constant technological battle,
newer
and more advanced detection equipment is being developed
to catch thieves at the cyber-cross-roads. Beyond "eye
in the sky" cameras, casinos now use specialists in
electronic detection.
For
highly organized cheaters, riches can be just a few hours
away, but how do they do it? Cheating Las Vegas takes
you
into the shadowy underworld of organized cheating. These
groups use mathematicians to calculate probabilities,
computer programmers to write strategies, and engineers
to design
and manufacture equipment. They continue to develop newer
and more ingenious ways of making money off the "house." Cheating
Las Vegas has gained access to these teams and their high-tech
tools of the trade. |
