Cheating Vegas

Cheating Vegas is the name of a documentary television series previously airing on Destination America. The series is about the illegal industry of cheating in casinos, featuring interviews with several infamous cheaters and informative information, topped off with real security camera footage of cheaters in the act. The show also includes talks from Nevada Gaming Control Board members about the different cheaters involved. The show debuted in 2012,^[1] and is currently not airing any new episodes.

Plot

The show is a compilation of security camera footage, phone calls to prisoners known to cheat in Vegas, and talks with Nevada Gaming members. As casino employees have noticed, if there's money involved, there are unscrupulous people out there willing to grab it. These feature criminals like Dennis Nikrasch, the infamous slot cheater who reigned for 22 years. Real security camera footage probably unseen anywhere else allows viewers to have a look at the daily cheaters' main job. Many forms of cheating are included, such as point shaving, rigging slot machines, and manipulating the game of craps.

Not addressed is the matter of casinos cheating patrons, although the Nevada Gaming Control Board certainly has such cases in its files.
