Among the world-famous cheaters, hunted by cheating casinos, there are almost no women. The reason is that in such machinations, the fair half of mankind is usually used only to divert the attention of the security from cheaters.
Who is Ida Summers?
But sometimes in this world, some ladies are both swindlers and protagonists in artfully played tricks. The most famous of them is Ida Summers, also known as Fox from Vegas. In the 1960s and 1970s of the twentieth century, she broke the bank in casinos in Nevada as deftly and cleverly as a mother fox steals chicken coops.
Ida was very attractive and skillfully used it. Dealers, pit bosses, managers, and guards admired her beautiful face and surprisingly elegant figure, forgetting about their duties. In addition, Summers was very sociable and could win people over.
How Did Ida Summers Cheat Casinos?
She specialized in blackjack, starting with theft and spoofing cards. Once she had an opportunity, Summers hid a card in her hand and later used it in the game, forming a winning combination. She had mastered this not original trick.
Later, Ida used much more difficult and dangerous tricks. She learned to slip a whole deck or even a shoe where the cards are stacked in a special way from the dealer. Of course, doing this trick alone was nearly impossible, so Summers had several assistants.
She stole the deck, hiding it under the table. Ida then transferred it to one of her accomplices, and a dense crowd gathered around her. Some time later, she left the table, and her assistants adjusted it to the end. With this approach, it was tough to prove Ida's guilt.
I must say that at that time, there was no known woman who would cheat successfully in the casino, so for a long time, she was beyond suspicion. By the way, in those days, casinos in Las Vegas were controlled by gangsters, so she would have a hard time if they caught her.

How was Ida Arrested?
But Summers was caught by the FBI and the Nevada Gaming Commission. However, she managed to avoid jail time. Whether the authorities had failed to prove her guilt in many games, whether she agreed to cooperate with them, or simply that Ida could fascinate them, she only got probation.
And her cheating career ended.
