Super Vision:
Imagine going to the casino and everyone is showing you their cards and the dealer is telling you what cards are going to be dealt next. It would make all the card games in a casino easy right. You would be unbeatable. You would know when to fold and when to go all in playing poker and when to hit, stay and double down playing blackjack. Super Vision would only be good for card games. When it came to craps and roulette there would be no advantage to seeing thru the table.


Transparency:
The ability to turn invisible would be a nice power for a spy or an extortionist, but not really that good for gambling. You would have to work as a team with someone. They could place bets at a roulette table and you could move the bet to the winning number, but you would have to be slick about it. If you bumped into someone they would want to know what touched them, and if suddenly someone sees a stack of chips moving they are going to wonder why.


Plastic Man:
Cool power but I don’t think it would be so great for cheating. If you tried to sneak your arm under the table and around the other side someone is bound to notice an arm popping up and moving chips around. This could maybe be good if you can get your arm inside of a slot machine and make it pay out.


Super Strength:
This would be a great superpower if you were going to rob the casino. you could walk right in rip the doors of to the vaults and just grab the money and walk out, without anyone being able to stop you. But this would not be a very good power for cheating in the casino.



Manipulate Fire:
This would not be a good power for casino gambling. There is lots of wood in a casino and a small fire could quickly become a big hotel fire trapping and killing thousands.



Aqua Man:
I did hear about an underwater poker tournament once, but in a regular casino this would be useless, maybe if there was fish tanks all around the room then I guess it would work.


Using Your Brain:
Call it whatever you want, but the ability to move things with your mind would be a great help in a casino but not in every game. You would not want to sit at the poker table or the keno room with this power. It could be good for the slots as long as they are not video slots. This power would be best for the roulette or craps table.


Telepathy:
This super power would fall right under X Ray Vision because you would know what everyone had in their hands, but you could never know what was the next card in the shoe like you would if you could see thru things. So this would be helpful but not the best one to have.


Storm:
The ability to control the weather would have no effect on any casino game. Maybe you could make lightening strike the slot machines and hopefully they will start to pour out their money.



Ice Breath:
The ability to freeze everyone in the casino again is another talent more practical for a thief then just a casino cheat. This would be a great skill if you were throwing a party. You could keep the keg super cold, but do not see it working in the casino.


Power of Suggestion:
I don’t care what super power you have this is the best one you could have for cheating in an online casino. With this power you don’t have to have a good hand or have to move the dice or roulette ball. You just have to make everyone think you won and take your winnings. You could be playing poker and have a 2,3,6,9 and a jack in your hand and tell everyone it is a royal flush and they would think it was the truth.


What is the point of having a super power if you can not use it to get stupid rich in a casino?
