RENO, Nev.—Dishonest players
worry the gamblers in Nevada,
the state which prides itself on
having games that are wide open,
but straight.
Managers of Reno’s gambling
houses must be alert for tricks at
tempted by the supposedly gulli
ble public.
An unending supply of new
decks prevents marking of cards
with such devices as a smudge of
lipstick on the edge of a card, a
fingernail cut to mark an ace or
a turned down corner on a face

Among the common varieties of
cheating players who keep hon
est gamblers on the alert are the
fellows who complain loudly that
the roulette man should have paid
them off because the ball really
dropped into the slot where they
had their chip, the ones who
nudge their chips from a losing
to a winning position after the
wheel stops and, of course, the
ones who try to run loaded dice
in on the dice table.
