CHEATING AT BLACKJACK - Part 3
by Dustin Marks
Back in the 1980's, I "took off" several Las Vegas casinos, and other casinos throughout the state of Nevada, at their blackjack tables. After retiring from cheating, I wrote two books:
Cheating at Blackjack and Cheating at Blackjack Squared. I also created the DVD: Cheating at Blackjack - The Real Work (www.dustinmarks.com). I was never caught. This is Part 3 in this series.

This was standard policy for this casino. For whatever reason, I was never polygraphed. The team was eventually whittled down to JS, a boss, and me.
