False Cut
A false cut is a cheating move that looks like a cut but leaves the deck's order unchanged.
The simple explanation
In a false cut, the dealer pretends to cut the deck but keeps the stacked cards where they were. It is a cheating technique. It is also the name of the act of giving the deck such a cut.
A closer look
A false cut is used together with a stacked deck: the cheat has arranged cards, and the false cut keeps the arrangement. Casinos prevent it by using cut cards, by watching the deck and by letting the player cut.
A practical example
A cheating dealer shuffles to keep a stack, then appears to cut the deck but leaves the stack in place.
Full explanation
A false cut is a cheating move that looks like a cut but leaves the deck’s order unchanged.
A false cut is a cheating maneuver in which the deck appears to be cut, but the stacked portion remains unchanged at the top. The phrase can also mean giving the deck such a cut.
It works only when the cheat has already arranged the cards. The false cut hides the arrangement from observers.
Casino procedures such as surveillance and cut cards make it hard to succeed.
If a cut looks suspicious, ask the floor to review it.
