Understaffing in the surveillance room Understaffing on the casino floor The player is allowed to cut the deck in
Baccarat The game tends to move at a slow place
allowing time for a player to receive the images of the cards, study them, and enter the game
Macau officials warned casinos in Las Vegas about “The Cutters”
A group of players took more than $1 million ◦ That same group has taken tens of millions
internationally Security questioned them They were released without police charges
due to a lack of evidence
Staff more than the normal 3-5 people to be working in surveillance◦ Train them to watch the games proactively
Hire more than one floor supervisor to watch the games
Watch closer on high limit games especially on high volume nights
Run a more thorough background check on employees to avoid collusion
Don’t allow players to cut the deck
