Grifter
A grifter is a cheat, a person who swindles others, often by cheating in card games.
The simple explanation
A grifter cheats players for money. He may use marked cards, false deals or other tricks.
A closer look
In a legitimate cardroom, dealers, cameras and the floor are there to protect players. If you suspect cheating, do not accuse a player at the table. Tell the floor quietly and let them investigate.
A practical example
A player suspects that another player is using marked cards and quietly tells the floorman. He does not accuse the player himself.
