Unlike the X-ray contact lenses or X-ray glasses used by cheaters to see through playing cards, IR camera marked card can be seen at a distance. This technology allows cheaters to read the markings of the card’s back without being detected. This means that they can know the suit and number of each card at a glance and make fast decisions during the game.
It was believed that infrared lenses could not be used to cheat at casino games. A recent breakthrough has allowed players to use this technology without anyone noticing. The secret is that you use infrared lenses or contact lens to detect the marks. You can also daub a special chemical on the backs of playing cards.
Online, infrared glasses or contacts can be bought to reveal the suits and numbers of the cards. They work by scanning the invisible luminous mark. They are comfortable, discreet and invisible to other players. They are perfect for players who want to win more money by beating other players at poker games.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind when buying and using this type of cheating technology. These devices are only allowed to be used in specific environments and with a partner. If you’re new to the game, you may want to practice using these devices before you use them in a live game.
While a marked card is not illegal in most states, it’s still a serious crime to attempt to cheat at a casino. Law enforcement officers across the country have stepped up their efforts to prevent gambling fraud, and they’ve started using infrared cameras and marked cards to identify cheaters.
Blazevic discussed this latest threat in a breakout at the WGPC Learn Labs and warned casinos to take it seriously. Marking cards was once considered an art. Only a select few people were skilled enough to do it. It was a long and tedious process that was easy to miss. Today, though, the technology is available to anyone who’s willing to spend a few hundred dollars on a kit and some hours of practicing.
Barcode marked poker cards are another way that cheaters gain an edge. These cards are processed with special printing equipment that makes a luminous ink barcode on the edges. The barcodes on the cards are scanned by poker analyzers, which can tell results with a quick glance. They are perfect for Texas Hold’em or Omaha and can be easily hidden in a shirt pocket or jacket pocket. You can use them over and over again because they are durable.
