Gaming expert Sal Piacente joins Tim to talk about casino cheaters, scammers, and how casinos watch for and catch them. But that's just the beginning. Sal has some great stories about his career in gaming. He is a consultant and a trainer for casinos and regulators around the world on gaming security. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Sal_Piacente_-_Casino_Stories_auphonic.mp3 There's a saying in some casinos. The eye in the sky don't lie. That's a reference to the cameras placed throughout the casinos, and the people and systems behind those cameras to catch cheaters and scammers. But it's much more than cameras. Casinos are some of the most sophisticated organizations that exist to monitor their facilities for anything that could go wrong. And they need to be. With all of that money changing hands with the roll of the dice or the flip of a card, casinos are very attractive turf for some of the most sophisticated scam artists in the world. When we talk about casinos, we're talking about their big moneymaker games. Slot machines. Table games. Blackjack. Poker. Roulette. Sal Piacente knows a thing or two about casinos. He's a native of Brooklyn, New York. He started his casino career as a blackjack dealer in Atlantic City after he was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marines. Sal worked his way up from dealer, to shift manager, to game protection specialist. Today, he's a consultant to casinos on security. And he trains casino staff and students at the University of Nevada on gaming management. He knows every way cheaters try to cheat casinos. He's seen it all. So, when we sat down, I had to ask him, “What casino game attracts the most cheaters?” Links Sal Piacente (Website) Woman Scammed Out of 10K During a 3 Card Monte Game at Perimeter Mall, WGCL Atlanta The Theory of Blackjack: The Compleat Card Counter's Guide to the Casino Game of 21, by Peter Griffin (Amazon) Beat the Dealer: A Winning Strategy for the Game of 21, by Peter Thorp (Amazon) Big Book of Blackjack, by Arnold Snyder (Amazon) WizardOfOdds.com Cashier Allegedly Used Photographic Memory to Steal Credit Card Info, New York Post The Contestant Who Outsmarted the Price is Right, Esquire About this Episode's Guest Sal Piacente Sal Piacente is a native of Brooklyn, New York, and the ultimate student of the game.

Michael J. Coles is a co-founder of the Great American Cookie Company and former CEO of Caribou Coffee. After a successful 19-year career in the clothing business, Michael tested his entrepreneurial skills in 1977, when he co-founded Great American Cookie Company with a joint investment of only $8,000. Shortly after starting the company, he was involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident and was told by doctors he would never walk again unaided. As he recovered through a self-designed rehabilitation program, he took the company from its first store in Perimeter Mall in Atlanta to hundreds of stores nationwide and, at the same time, set three coast-to-coast bicycling records. Michael's commitment to community service led him to run for public office in 1996 as the democratic nominee for the House of Representatives in the Sixth District of Georgia, and in 1998 he won the democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, challenging Senator Paul Coverdell. In 2003, Coles accepted the corporate reins of Caribou Coffee Company as chairman, CEO and president. Over the next five years, Coles more than doubled the size of the company, extending the brand reach domestically and abroad. In September 2005, he successfully took the company public on NASDAQ under the symbol CBOU. Coles went on to join others in founding Charter Bank & Trust and served as its chairman, taking the bank public and selling the publicly traded company to Synovus Bank. Coles is also the former chairman of Brand Holding Company and chairman of Brand Bank. Michael was appointed by Governor Roy Barnes in 1999 to chair the Georgia Film, Video and Music Advisory Board. During his four years as chairman, Michael and his board successfully passed HB610, which was the first-ever tax incentive of its kind in Georgia. That bill allowed the film industry to begin a rebirth, going from $170 million in 1999 to over $1.5 billion in economic impact by 2003. Today, Georgia's film industry generates over $12 billion in economic impact. Having contributed much of their time and resources to education, the arts, environment and philanthropic organizations, Michael and his wife, Donna were honored as the Georgia Philanthropists of the Year in 1995. Michael was appointed by Governor Roy Barnes in 2001 to serve on the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. In recognition of Michael's success, leadership, and benevolence, Kennesaw State University, under the authority granted by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, declared that the institution's School of Business be named and known in perpetuity as the Michael J. Coles College of Business at Kennesaw State University. In 1999, Michael received the Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree from Kennesaw State University. On October 17, 2018, Michael officially launched his book titled “Time to Get Tough: How Cookies Coffee and a Crash Led To Success in Business and Life.” During this episode, Michael shares many entrepreneurial tips, including, you don't have to be the smartest person in the room, and surround yourself with good people and you'll be surprised at how good they will make you look.
