10: Gonzalo Garcia-Pelayo
Garcia-Pelayo was the first man to ever defeat the roulette wheel bias in the 1990s. This guy was from Spain, and he was originally an unsuccessful record producer. After his business didn't go so well, he devoted all his time into playing roulette.

9: Keith Taft
Keith Taft beat the casino in the slyest way possible. He was basically Inspector Gadget in the flesh. He devoted 30 years of his life to developing devices simply to beat the casino. Keep in mind this was back in the 70s before the Internet and mobile phones.

8: Ron Harris
Ron Harris is one of the only people on earth who actually profited from playing keno. It happened in January 1995, when a man named Reid Errol McNeal beat the odds 1 million to 1 and hit a huge keno jackpot of $100,000 at the Bally’s Park Place Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

7: Ida Summers
Ida Summers is one of the most notorious casino cheaters in history. She was a gorgeous woman who in the 60s and 70s collected tens of thousands of dollars using all kinds of shifty methods in the casinos. Her specialty was at the blackjack table.

6: Louis ‘The Coin’ Colavecchio
Louis Colavecchio was perhaps the most notorious counterfeiter that ever lived. He was a thorn in the side of casinos for years, as he manufactured counterfeit coins to be used in casinos all across the nation.

5: Richard Marcus
Richard Marcus lived under a bridge. He was in pretty rough shape. After getting his act together, he managed to score a job as a blackjack dealer, and it was while he dealt cards that he began to think about how to cheat the casino.

4: Tommy Glenn Carmichael
Tommy Carmichael was very similar to Keith Taft. Tommy used clever devices to gain a huge edge when playing at the casino. But unlike Keith, Tommy preferred to play slots. His method was to take any slot machine and beat it.

3: Edward Thorp
Edward Thorp was a card counter and a mathematics professor with a master’s degree in physics. He was extremely intelligent, and in the early 60s he figured out a systematic method for counting cards and winning the game.

2: The MIT Blackjack Team
The MIT blackjack team is definitely the most famous story on the list. There have been books written about it, and there was even a major movie that came out in 2008. It all started as an after-school club at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the middle of the 1990s.

1: Dominic LoRiggio
Dominic LoRiggio is also known as “The Man with the Golden Arm.” Believe it or not, after thousands of hours of practice, this guy learned controlled shooting. This is the technique of throwing the dice in such a way during a game of craps that you get whatever numbers you want.
