the same way to cheat in other card games.
You can only really:
Stack the deck
Look at other players card
Pull good cards from somewhere and put them in your hand
Other old ticks like these

Most casinos hire professional dealers for just that reason. The fewer cards you are given to handle, the harder it will be for you to cheat. In a casino, it is against the rules to picks your cards up and carry them beyond the edge of the table. One time, you'll prolly get a warning, two times, you'll prolly be held, searched, have to wait as they review every moment of tape they have of you playing anywhere in their house, and if you're found to be clean, then you'll be asked to leave just to save face. Also, the only cards they let off of the tables in a casino are in the gift shop and have holes punched through them. So, really the easiest way to cheat is to get a partner and use some kind of signaling or codespeak to exchange information about your cards. The more vague the code, the better your odds, but the harder it will be to master. So, in order to cheat the casino by yourself, your best best would be to pull an ace off of a table without the dealer, any other player, or the eye in the sky noticing, secure that ace, and then reintroduce it into the game later in such a way that never makes it seem the wrong number of cards were out, and again goes unnoticed. BTW, you'd have a time limit for this too. Most decks only spend thirty to sixty minutes on the floor, and as soon as they're pulled, they get checked for abnormalities like missing or extra cards. If there is a missing card, the casino has probable cause to detain you and search you, and you will be convicted of a felony if they find that missing card on you.
Ergo, don't try to cheat in a casino. If you want to cheat in a home game, you'll find yourself far more successful, but even then you'll get caught eventually, and if you're around friends, you won't have anymore friends, and if you're playing with strangers, that's justifiable homicide. As far as how to do it, read up on "the mechanic's grip", "second-dealing", "bottom dealing", and "card/deck manipulation". That should start you off in the right (wrong) direction. Good luck!

One way to cheat would be to play with a partner, employing some kind of signalling system to let each other know how good your hand is. While this wouldn't help you on every hand, it might give you an edge once in awhile, especially if there are a lot of fish at the table. If one of you can stack the deck, even better.
In the movie Rounders, Mike and Worm run a scam like this. Of course, they eventually get beat down by a room full of cops. lol

Someone with a sense of humor! Hmmmm... Dirty poker can get you in a lot of trouble these days. It can definitely be done, is it worth it? NO! Grew up watching the underworld of crooked games, it's funny what the eyes of a little girl can hold, you know because I'm "just" a woman. Anyway getting back to your question, plenty of ways to cheat, from the obvious card- m-tricks to the most dangerous, not that I'm going to divulge, I talk a good game about cheating, but I honestly would never resort to it! And if you know what's good for you, you wouldn't either! Unless you want your a-- kicked, man woman, what ever?, they don't go any easier on you!

I know that if you cheat in a game with me that you will need a doctor to help you out afterwards. I hate cheats, not only is it a felony to cheat a casino, it is just stupid to do so. If you can't win by playing fair then you need help, cheaters should be beat and made an example of.

go ahead and cheat. I hear that at the Bellagio in Vegas they will let you try it. HA HA Try it there and see what happens. You will wish that you were in prison for about 5 years after the beating you will get.
