Dear Friends and Business Associates,
I will probably be talking once more on the World Game Protection Conference in Las Vegas Nevada to be held on the Rio Las Vegas on March 11th via thirteenth. If you’re there in attendance and also you see me, please come up and say “hi”. I will probably be attending all three days.
World Game Protection Conference 2025 March 11th– 13th Las Vegas – Rio Resort
CORE – Investigating Gaming LossesAs I’ve the previous two years, I will probably be collaborating in Willy Allison’s CORE Training Program. The matter I will probably be presenting is “Investigating Gaming Losses”. My session will probably be held on March 11th, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. This session is for all surveillance and desk video games personnel in addition to gaming regulators. I plan to do a drill-down into using “Charting” of suspected play in the primary card video games of Blackjack and Baccarat in addition to a choose Alternative recreation.
I “showcase” a unique Alternative card recreation every year. Three years in the past, it was Three Card Poker. Two years in the past, it was Ultimate Texas Hold’em and final yr it was Mississippi Stud Poker. As a lot of you’ll keep in mind, we drilled down into the video games and examined the principles, the essential technique of the sport, and techniques for gaining the supplier’s hole-card and/or neighborhood playing cards. The goal is to look at the completely different components of the sport and decide if a“suspected customer” may presumably be gaining an undesirable benefit over the home. This yr I’m inspecting the sport of High Card Flush (HCF). I will probably be breaking down HCF primarily based on procedures, recreation guidelines, and primary technique for betting or folding.
High Card Flush is topic to a unique vulnerability, Player hand info sharing also referred to as Player Collusion. I’ll dive down into the rationale a recreation like HCF is susceptible to info sharing whereas a recreation like Three Card Poker is NOT. It has to do with the shared info’s potential to eradicate the completely different mixturesthat the remaining playing cards have on the supplier’s hand. I may even present everybody with the technique used to find out if the remaining suited playing cards could be exploited by elevating and folding accordingly. We may even examine the completely different indicators {that a} collusion staff is within the technique of attacking the sport. And, I even have a suggestion as to an awesome deterrent your on line casino can use to forestall benefit gamers from contemplating your recreation as a goal (with out altering your current recreation or procedures).
Following High Card Flush, we’ll take a brief break and are available again to research the on line casino’s foremost recreation ofBlackjack. I’ll focus this hour on an evaluation movement chart developed from years of conducting excessive profitable participant evaluations. The individuals within the session will probably be taken via every step used to guage the play of a suspected Blackjack buyer. The first challenge we’ll examine is whether or not the shopper is gaining an edge via card counting. Once our evaluation both confirms or denies card counting, we’ll transfer on to different areas of potential concern. By the time we go over each factor within the Blackjack movement chart, the individuals will probably be armed with sufficient info to declare the play trustworthy and truthful or look to barring or extra drastic measures.
I wish to introduce new ideas to the session, and this yr I will probably be presenting a brief function on “The Mechanics of Card Counting”. Many on line casino executives wrongly consider that any card counter can stroll into their membership and extract hundreds of {dollars} in a matter of minutes utilizing a easy count-system. This just isn’t true, and this perception has price the on line casino business hundreds of thousands of {dollars} from lack of hand choices. We will probably be inspecting the completely different components that should be used in order that the Professional Level Card Counter can acquire a bonus over the Blackjack recreation, and assist everybody perceive that even an assault from a Professional degree counter is usually a manageable scenario
In the third hour we’ll look at the sport of Baccarat. Again, we’ll use a recreation movement chart that takes the individuals step-by-step till the investigator can affirm or deny the equity of the shoppers’ play. In the final portion of the Baccarat session, I’ll present Baccarat Game Protection Tips that the individuals can make the most of to eradicate a big portion of the potential avenues of assault of their on line casino’s video games.
