At the World Game Protection Conference, author Maria Konnikova highlighted the prevalence of cheating in poker games, emphasizing the lack of focus from game protection specialists on this issue. She pointed out that while casinos are concerned about losses in pit games, they often neglect poker room integrity issues such as marked cards and rogue dealers. Further inquiry into the current cheating landscape revealed that many risks, particularly in jurisdictions where poker operates in a gray area, should alert both players and casino operators to the dangers inherent in the game.
At the poker table, there are marked cards, hidden cameras, and compliant dealers who merely have to pitch the cards a little bit high in order for game integrity to break down.
Maria Konnikova noted that poker-room cheating is prevalent and concerns should extend to the poker tables, even though game protection specialists don't often reflect that.
