I don't think someone's going to barge in and steal a rack of white chips if that's what you're getting at. The cardroom has an incentive to keep the games and customers feeling and actually being safe if just for PR reasons. Security is always roaming the floor. They're in constant contact with surveilance who's always on the lookout for people to id (looks under 21) or potential situations (angry customers about to erupt). Sorry I have no stories about epic brawls and ocean's 11 type stuff.

If your angle is what about corporation guys or dealers pocketing chips and shorting the rake. It has happened before. You'd think given how hard it is to get a dealing job and the money that comes with it ( not excessive granted but decent) you wouldn't do something like that but it happens. We're always on the constant lookout.
We always clear of hands palms up after touching chips. I get so used to doing that I find myself doing it when I'm outside of work. Pants and shirts w/o pockets is standard in most corporations.


Also there are guys everynow and then that will past post bets when they have a big hand in 3-Card Poker or Blackjack. If we catch it we just notify the floor and they'll act accordingly. Likewise we watch for people giving cards to eachother. Really rare but it's been known to happen.

Yeah, I was thinking all those things, but most of all, cheaters: past posting and card swapping. After all, since such actions will not affect the house's bottom line, how much do they look out for that?
Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood?
