Fort McDowell inspectors learn cheating tricks in training
Two Fort McDowell gaming inspectors said their week of mentorship under veterans opened their eyes to how far people will go to cheat. They watched videos and heard instructor tales from Atlantic City while noting local casino realities. They cited jamming machines, false claims of wins, and patrons sticking fiber optics into coin validators as methods used to disrupt gambling devices.

Police, gaming inspectors and tribal officers joined 15 students at Atlantic Community College for a 400 dollar week long course on spotting card counters, cheating devices and other tricks used to defeat casinos. The program highlights blockers, microcomputers like Georges or Casey, and the pull of high roller status with free perks while noting enforcement challenges and a 1993 surge in license revocations.
