Deviating from traditional scams and cheat training
As an example, a player's club supervisor at a casino in Washington state was indicted by federal prosecutors in May for draining about $20,000 worth of points earned by casino players and issuing cash vouchers that were redeemed by friends.
Not all scams involve outright theft. In some cases, casino hosts —who are often compensated based upon the gambling volume of players on their roster —have manipulated points records to receive credit for players who were assigned to other hosts. And some creative cheats have opened multiple players club accounts to obtain several cards, which they insert into machines that are played by gamblers who don’t have cards of their own. The thieves collect the cards after the players leave.
Poor communication and training is mostly to blame for the persistence of players club scams, Powell said.
