Some of the material is just a rehash that's already been on.

In one episode about the slot machine cheat, they said that he would get out of jail in 2004.

In another episode that was more up to date, they said he got of jail and died in 2010.

I think the one that said he'd be out in 2004 was a different series--Vegas Cheaters Exposed came on right after Cheating Vegas.

Are any of these shows aired on the Internet so that we can watch them in the UK?

What channel is it on in the US?

I couldn't find any information on YouTube but I did find this film from National Geographic:-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP0DKZ1T78M&feature=related

It was interesting to see at 33:15 they showed a counter on a 'Blackjack Switch' table :-)

Also, at around 33:50 you get the view of a head surveillance guy about card counters ...

Discovery Channel owned cable channel Destination America
has a new series starting Aug 19th (this Sunday) called
'Cheating Vegas'. I have Comcast Xfinity and thats channel
113 here. We need to watch so we can make fun of it later.



Is "Cheating Vegas" to be read like "Judging Amy" or "Crossing Jordan"? Is Vegas doing the cheating?

It looks like Discovery only ordered 3 episodes to
see how well it does. There may be more at a later
time.
