South Point Casino in Las Vegas Adopts Slide Dealing to Combat Cheating

The South Point Casino in Las Vegas has implemented slide dealing to distribute cards. This method prevents other players from seeing the cards, enhancing game protection.

South Point Poker Room Manager Jason Sanborn stated that the slide dealing method was implemented to provide the best protection to the game possible. Sanborn believes that this method will spread to other parts of the country.

Poker pro Andy Bloch posted that some of the best dealers can pitch cards high enough where some players can make out a card. This highlights the potential for cheating in traditional dealing methods. Poker pro Bart Hanson pointed to alleged cheating rings at cardrooms in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and other parts of the country, further emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures.
