Poker player caught cheating in German casino

So, the dealer and/or casino had to be in on this right? It just sounds too unbelievable. If you're counting the deck on the same schedule every day, you're almost begging for cheats to try this.

Nah, not necessarily in on it. They could discourage it by randomly (or every time) have the dealer count the stub (remaining cards) as the players conclude the last round action. Dealers could also spread the players hands before they hit the muck upon player discarding same, but most lazy dealers appreciate it if the player mucks hand directly to the muck. lol
