Do you think beating the Casino is impossible? Well, maybe it’s not as hard as you think. A new, yet largely unnoticed trend is leaving players with the upper hand.

Computers have been used (often in vain) to try to cheat the Casinos and hit that big payday. But despite all the sophisticated technology used to prevent cheating, new automated bots are completely defying the online Casinos.

Poker / Blackjack Bots

What is a poker bot? A poker bot is a program that reads the screen and analyzes and records data. The program must be given “rules” to follow about how to play and eventually the bot can learn to win at poker. Usually, since humans have emotions and can be distracted, bots have a very high success rate.

With immensely detailed tutorials available, many people have been creating their own poker playing robot or bot. These bots seem like they would need intelligence that only a team of scientists could give them, however very simple rules go far with a poker bot. There are also a lot of “pre-packaged” poker bots available for download, like the one featured in this video below.

How Does it Work?

According to Newscientist.com, hundreds of online poker players are currently using these bots in an attempt to make money without doing anything. While many of bots sold on the internet lose money for their owners, some are likely making a living off their poker bots. “It is a growing problem,” says Darse Billings of the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, who acts as a security consultant for poker rooms. “It is becoming easier for people to produce a poker-playing program and to plug it in to play online.” Alright, now how do I make my own poker bot?

There are many great tutorials available on how to build your own poker bot. The concepts are fairly simple, but you will need some coding experience to even attempt something like this. The 8 [art series below shows in great detail instructions for creating and programming your bot. The steps go like this

1. Take screenshots of the site you will be playing on. Screenshots will help you to show the program where to look for card changes etc.

2. Create an exe and dll files

3. Inject your code via Windows Hook

4. Retrieve data from games

5. Analyze data

6. Create rules for your program based on the data

Video Poker / Slot Machines

Since the creation of these ubiquitous video poker and slot machines, exploits upon exploits have been tried and tested. Some have worked, most haven’t. Below are some of the most commonly used methods of cheating video poker machines.

Monkey Wire – A monkey wire is simply a bent wire that, if properly bent, will force the machine to payout more than it should by blocking the sensor that counts money as it comes out.

Light Wand – After some companies caught onto the monkey wire, Tommy Carmichael created the light wand, which consists of a wire, a lightbulb and a battery. Since modern machines rely on optical sensors, the ligthwand operated exactly as the monkey wire. The only difference is that when the lightwand blinds a machine it pays out everything in the machine.

Drilling – Some have been known to drill machines in such a way that that the device would overpay. This technique is not common however due to the noise, mess and need for tools during a drilling cheat.

Cashbox theft – Skilled cheats have used lock picking methods to forcefully open the poker machine and take the entire cash and coin box. This technique has been known to be incredibly fast.

Raking it in with Roulette

The Martingale System

The Martingale System is the most common well known Roulette Cheat around. Here’s how the system works:

1. You must use a set wagering amount

2. Continue to place better with your set amount until you lose

3. Once you’ve lost, you double your wager

4. Based on the odds, if you double after a loss you will gain all your lost money back The Anti-Martingale

The Anti-martingale System is similar to the Martingale system except that in The Anti- Martingale System you double after a win. This system relies on larger downfalls the the traditional martingale systems and therefore isn’t for all player. Make sure to wager on even money wars like black or red.

Five Number Roulette System

This cheat is another great odds based cheat. Bet on five individual numbers on the roulette table. By wagering on inside bets you are getting a 35 to one chance of return. This method can be especially effective with a partner.

Win At Craps

There are several ways to win at craps, but the most popular involves cutting and shaping trick die that will land on certain numbers more often than they should by chance alone. Some of the methods to modify die are:

Floaters – Floaters or floats are die that have been hollowed out on the inside. Dice that have been hollowed out “float” instead of sink like traditional die.

Tappers – Tappers are similar to floats except they have a dumb bell shaped hole on the inside. The bell is placed on the opposite side of the number you want to show up. There are many modifications that can be made to a tapper, however due to their unreliability they aren’t used often.

Weighted Dice – These dice have been loaded by adding extra weight to them. Heavy metals are used commonly for these types of die. The extra weight will cause the same effect as a tapper.

Beveled – These dice have had one or more side(s) that have been shaped to be convex. This will cause them to roll off the convex side onto a flat side.

Suction – Suction can force a slight concave on one side which forces the die to favor certain numbers.

Shaved Dice – Similar to other methods, the shaved die are shaped into a slight rectangle. The effect is that 4 sides of the die appear more than the other 4. Depending on how you have the die you can get different combination of numbers, all which have different names like “flat passer” or “six ace flat”.

Razor-Edge – This method (if done properly) is hard to spot. One or more edges are cut while the other edges are rounded. This forces the die to roll onto the flat edge.

Saw-tooth – By making tiny cuts along the edges of the die you can have it catch the table in such a way that it will land on your desired number.
