During a quarter of a century, Richard Marcus has used different tricks and won a fortune in all casinos around the globe. Thanks to his doubtful talent, Richard Marcus became a living legend.

We will tell you the full story of his cheating methods which helped him stealing from different casinos and winning over $5 million during his “career”.

Some people say genius is related to madness the same way as a very skillful player is a skillful cheater.
The player and the cheater share many similarities: they both know the game as their own pockets, they both have the courage to risk everything, they keep their head cold in pressed situations, and they know when it's time to leave the game.

Indeed, Richard Marcus was an excellent player before he became a swindler. In his youth, he used to work as a dealer in a casino. Seeing both sides of the green table helped him to store knowledges and finally to change his destiny.

One day, by the time he worked as a croupier, a man named Classon made him an offer. Classon knew Marcus was very skillful and he offered him a place in his team. Marcus was glad to accept his unique offer. Although he was aware of the danger, he immediately began his apprenticeship as a professional casino cheater.

Classon became the teacher, the leader, the mentor and he was almost like a father to Marcus. Classon taught Marcus everything he knew about casino cheating and asked Marcus to find and to develop his own theories. And that was exactly what Marcus did one night, in a strip bar, when a new idea took shapes in his head, the moment when a stripper lady sat in his lap.

Marcus named the new theory “Savannah”, after the name of the stripper.
