Mikki Mase on How Card Shufflers, Earpieces & Phone Apps Used to Cheat in Poker (Part 3) Nov 27, 2025

Show notes

In an eye-opening interview, gaming expert Mikki Mase reveals how advanced technology is exploited to cheat in poker. Rigged card shufflers – far from ordinary devices – can secretly organize decks in any order and transmit the next cards to players via hidden cameras. “These aren’t just shuffle machines; they’re card arranging machines,” Mase explains, noting some cost upwards of $100,000.

Beyond machines, smartphone apps can analyze cards in real-time to predict winning hands, especially in private games where rules are lax. Additionally, ultra-small nano earpieces allow players to receive covert signals from accomplices watching remotely, relaying crucial information to gain an edge.

Mase’s insights expose the sophisticated and varied cheating methods lurking beneath the poker tables, demonstrating how technology and human cunning combine to undermine fair play in both casinos and private games.

Mikki Mase on How Mafia Cheated Players in Chauncey Billups' Poker Games Using Glasses (Part 2) Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

Insider Mikki Mase has shed light on an underground poker cheating scheme allegedly involving former NBA star Chauncey Billups, who is accused of hosting rigged games backed by the Mafia. According to Mase, Billups likely wasn’t an active player but a host used to add credibility to these underground games. The cheating involved advanced technology, including special glasses that allowed players to read markings on the backs of cards, such as blacklight imprints invisible to most. Mase explained how dealers or insiders might introduce marked decks, enabling players wearing these glasses to identify cards covertly. This method, paired with complex ink-marking techniques on fingers, helped cheaters gain an edge during play. While casinos prevent such cheating by restricting decks and surveillance, underground private games lacked these controls, making them vulnerable to elaborate rigging schemes. This revelation highlights the sophisticated tactics used to manipulate underground poker, implicating high-profile figures like Billups in the illicit activities.
