{{short description|Actions by the player prohibited by regional gambling control authorities}} {{multiple| {{original research|date=February 2012}} {{refimprove|date=July 2019}} }} '''Cheating in casinos''' refers to actions by the player or the house which are prohibited by regional [[Gaming control board|gambling control authorities]]. This may involve using suspect apparatus, interfering with apparatus, chip fraud or misrepresenting games. The formally prescribed sanctions for [[cheating]] depend on the circumstances and gravity of the cheating and the [[jurisdiction]] in which the [[casino]] operates. In [[Nevada]], for a player to cheat in a casino is a [[felony]] under state law. In most other jurisdictions, specific [[statute]]s do not exist, and alleged instances of cheating are resolved by the gambling authority who may have more or less authority to enforce its verdict. [[Advantage play]] techniques are not cheating. [[Card counting]], for example, is a legitimate advantage play strategy that can be employed in [[blackjack]] and other [[card games]]. In almost all jurisdictions, casinos are permitted to ban from their premises customers they believe are using advantage play, regardless of whether they are in fact doing so and even though it is not cheating, though this practice of barring law-abiding citizens from public places is subject to judicial review. So far, courts in New Jersey and [[North Las Vegas, Nevada]] have found the practice of barring law-abiding citizens to be illegal.
