Do casinos ever get caught cheating?

Some have been found actually manipulating the gear itself. Extra weights on roulette wheels or slot reels to influence results. Messed up payout odds from what's on the books just to rake in more jackpot winnings over time.

And dealing slippery? Definitely. Crossed the line dealing under the table or info trading. Giving players privy info they shouldn't have just to skim the cash & chips. Card counters keeping tabs, some houses came after them hard with special measures. Led to lawsuits calling fences unfair play.

Records and audits couldn't hide everything. Folks uncovered skimming scandals, odds manipulation cover-ups or fake randomness with corrective measures. Caught the cheaters in the lie!

A few unlucky cheaters left clues leading back to them. Weighted components installed sloppy enough to eventually raise suspicion. Tech and regular audits have reduced most dirty deeds today but some still slip through.

If caught, cheaters get pound me in the booty prison time, losing licenses for life and destroying a casino's rep. Hurts the whole industry. Most places know that and avoid craziness, but cheating's not impossible given enough greed and desperation. So watch close enough, my fellow gamblers, and you just might spot the spin!

Some argue occasional scandals show the systems work, finally catching villains in their wrongdoing. Others say if any cheating's occurring, the systems clearly failed in the first place. Whichever side you take, the facts remain - casinos do get nabbed manipulating the games and we're all a little richer for their corruption getting outed loud and proud.
