Richard Marcus was a casino cheat in Las Vegas for 25 years. He used a mixture of chip scams and social engineering to con casinos such as Caesars Palace, the MGM Grand, and the Riviera out of millions of dollars. Though he was tailed by Griffin Investigations private investigators, he was never caught.
Marcus discusses the influence of the Italian Mafia in Las Vegas and his early years of being recruited while working as a dealer at the Four Queens Casino. He covers casino cheating teams and how they used the false shuffle in baccarat and the Savannah move. He also discusses casino surveillance, security, and the role of the police and the FBI, and he suggests ways to catch thieves.
Marcus now works as a security advisor at several casinos and chairs the Global Table Games & Game Protection Conference. He is the author of “American Roulette,” “The World’s Greatest Gambling Scams,” and “The Great Casino Heist.”
