Phoney High Rollers

Has anyone ever heard of this one? Friend of mine uses this to get perks at our local gambling ship.

He walks up to any table (BJ, Craps, Roulette) and lays 5, $100 bills making sure it's near a casino host/hostess. He asks for 300 in $100 chips, 100 in $25 chips, and 100 in $5 chips. He pockets the green and black chips.

He plays for awhile, but only plays the nickel chips. If he's up or down, he'll walk and go to the cashier and cash out all his chips in $100 bills.

He repeats this $500 lay routine over and over. He never pays to get on the ship and has received alot of perks, plus he gets invited to all the private party's.

There are a couple of points to make about this post.

The people running the ship your friend visits are idiots, players should always be rated on their play not their buy in.

And yes, many times, in the business it's called false drop, for the most part it is harmless, but do it enough and you'll end up with a SARC which could result in some fun for the person doing the false drop.

Jet, I totally agree and the ship is about out of business. I originally thought it was bull.

What does SARC mean?

A SARC (Suspicious Activity Report (Casino)) (I think there is also a SARB substitute Bank for casino.) Iis filed when there is a belief that someone is using the casino to launder money. Buying in $500, playing $50 of it, going to the cage, cashing in, then going to another table and buying in and repeating this bizarre behavior is either: A Suspicious or B Goofy.

In a real casino, they would keep track of how much this guy bets, how long he makes those bets and he would receive comps accordingly.

Folks do this all the time in "land-based" casinos...it's up to the pit boss to "catch" it...and they usually do. But--not always!

Give Comp City by Max Rubin a read. Its all about how to look like a high roller and get larger comps without betting as high as needed.
