Casino Cheating In Iowa Getting Tougher With New Gaming Training Lab

Casino gamblers that are sharp, or are just sick and tired of casinos taking their money, sometimes resort to cheating. the cheaters travel the country looking for casinos they can scam out of money.

Most times, it is too late by the time the casino realizes the patrons have been cheating. While most casinos have ways in place to spot cheaters, they are not a guaranteed remedy.

In Iowa, they want to make sure that there is no cheating going on in their casinos. They have now added the DCI Gaming Training Lab to the Department of Public Safety building in Des Moines, Iowa.

The lab is used for law enforcement officers to go and learn the new ways that people are trying to cheat at casinos. The tool has been implemented due to the large amount of officers that provide security at casinos within the state.

"There's no question that professional cheats travel across the country and try to cheat casinos. That's what we're always on the lookout for," said DPS Director, Gene Meyer.

It is not that officers from the state were not getting the training before. They would be sent to other states to take part in the training. Now, they can stay at home while they go through the training aimed at stopping casino cheaters.
