In what way did they cheat the casino by doing that?Also, that doesn't sound too original to me, I'm sure tiny mirrors or other devices to see the cards that are dealt have been used to cheat for centuries in games like poker.

This makes no sense. Also, just a fancy way of knowing your buddy's cards, hands signals would have worked too, probably with less chance of getting caught.But how did they bilk the CASINO?

They were probably playing 3 card or carribean stud against the house.

i dont see how a tiny camera could be able to see opponents cards without staying cnocealed. It also reads "the cards that were dealt to them" not to everyone.

unlikely in my opinion, unless the dealer was extremely amateur.
