Heat ( blackjack)
The pressure a casino puts on a winning player, typically someone
who is suspected of being a card counter. It can range from
very mild forms, such as a pit boss intently watching a player,
unnecessary comments to more overt forms, such as a pit boss
counting down the cards in the discard tray, particularly after
a player has raised his bet, accusations of counting cards,
intent scrutiny of your game by the pit bosses or other casino
personnel.
Most counters consider heat to be a warning sign that the casino
suspects they are counting.
Heat ( poker )
Attention being drawn to thievery or thieves by (usually) the
management or (sometimes) other players; often preceded by draw.
"I've been drawing too much heat at the Pasatiempo lately;
I better stay away."
Heat (roulette)
Intensive scrutiny of a player's action to determine if he has
an edge either
due to cheating or expertise. Casinos turn up the heat if you
seem
to be winning too frequently or in big amounts.
