Convicted Table Games Card-Switcher Gets 3 years Probation

Card-Switcher Sentenced in Canada
Khai Zhou card-switched his way to $6,000 profit on several occasions of play at the Fallsview Casino Resort during May 2019. The article of the story does not many details besides saying he played two spots at the poker tables, so I take that to mean he was most likely playing carnival derivative poker games. There is no mention of accomplices nor is there mention of how Fallsview casino staff caught on to the scam.

In addition to the 3 years' probation, Zhou agreed to place himself on the voluntary Ontario Exclusion List for the same 3 years.

It relatively rare to see active card-switchers cheating in North American casinos, especially in the US where penalties are much more severe.
