Course Description

Inside vs. Outside Threats: Understanding Casino Fraud from Both Sides is an 8-hour, in-depth professional course that provides a rare, unfiltered look into casino fraud from the perspectives of both the offender and the protector.

Led by Richard Marcus—former professional casino cheat turned internationally recognized casino game protection consultant and trainer—this course offers participants firsthand insight into how fraud schemes are conceived, executed, and concealed, as well as how casinos can effectively detect, disrupt, and prevent them.

Participants will explore the full spectrum of casino fraud, including external cheating teams, advantage play, collusion, employee theft, insider manipulation, dealer-player conspiracies, and technology-enabled fraud. By understanding the motivations, behaviors, and methodologies used by bad actors, attendees gain a powerful advantage in identifying red flags and closing operational gaps before losses occur.

Instruction emphasizes behavioral indicators, surveillance techniques, procedural weaknesses, and human factorsthat are often overlooked by traditional training. The course also examines how internal and external threats intersect, why insider threats are frequently more damaging than external ones, and how casino culture, training, and oversight directly influence fraud risk.

Designed for real-world application, this course challenges conventional thinking and equips participants with actionable strategies to strengthen game protection, surveillance effectiveness, and organizational awareness. While casino-focused, the lessons learned are applicable to broader gaming, hospitality, and regulated environments where fraud prevention and insider risk are critical concerns.

This course meets continuing education standards and supports professional development in casino surveillance, game protection, fraud detection, and risk management.
