Bottom dealing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bottom dealing is a method of illegally influencing the outcome of a poker game and other card games by way of dealing from the bottom, rather than the top, of the card deck. A bottom dealer may sneak a peek at the bottom card of the deck just after or during the cut or place selected cards at the bottom of the deck. With the knowledge of that card in mind, he can deal the card to himself or a confederate to help his or his confederate's hand, or deal it to someone else if he knows the card will not help the opponent (thereby preventing the opponent from improving his hand).
