When I was on the Spin Poker Joker play in Ely, Nevada there was a cheating scandal in the drawings. There were two drawings per week. Ten winners a night and you could only win once. When your name was called you went up to the booth and picked up your envolope of money-then you were required to reach into the drum and pull a ticket for the next winner.
There was another well known pro who used to write for video poker times on the play. He's the one that busted out the cheaters. I never noticed the pattern of name calling but he did. The cheat went something like this. I'll call the cheaters Larry, Curly and Moe. Whichever got his name called first the other two names would be called behind him.
If Larry's name was called then the next name called would be Curly or Moe. If it was Curly then Moe would be called behind him.
They were palming tickets and reaching down into the drum and coming up with the palmed ticket.
Doug picked up on the pattern and told the casino manager who put an end to the cheater's careers at the Hotel Nevada.
