Suspect cheating/mechanics in a card room... what to do?

#1 29th March 2010, 7:51 AM

Is there any sort of legal a body out there (gaming commission?) that investigates potential cases of cheating/mechanics at a licensed gambling establishment?

Without going into the details right now, I suspect there was something unsavory going on at card house I played in a couple of nights ago. It's a pretty "off the beaten path" place which somewhat increases the sketchiness factor. That was the first time in my 3+ years of poker that I felt that way.

there is definitely someone who regulates gaming machines but not sure how they handle cases of suspected cheating or rigged accusations . I'm sure they get many from people who lose to much money . but you need to try if you really think so , research it online and find out who you need to tell . good luck .

Are you talking about a person or the establishment cheating? I f you feel its a player you could ask the floor to watch them if its the establishment then and its a licensed place then the gaming commision would be the one to call.

I guess I'll do some research into filing a report with gaming commission. I suspect there was some dealer/shill collusion/mechanics going on. The problem is that it's borderline impossible to prove.

They have cameras everywhere. They probably recorded everything and if something is wrong they might notice. I had a problem in redemming a chip. I thought the cashier shortchanged me $20. They checked the tape and notifed me before i left the hotel that they could see nothing done out of hand. This wasn't a dealer situtation. They asked if i wanted to have the gaming board investigate the matter and had me sign paper as to what happened. Found the money later I gave 2 twentys to a family member because the bills were new and stuck together.

For California >> http://www.cgcc.ca.gov/

Left column there is a link for 'complaints'. Gaming commissions are usually
happy to accept all complaints and investigate accordingly.

Online or live ... ANY gambling/gaming attracts thieves and cheaters.

Always good to keep the eyes open ... it's YOUR money they are after ...

Also get written down as specific as you can the dates/times of the issues and what about the issue that makes you suspect there is something amiss. Getting it written makes it easier to refer to when/if needed.
