Blackjack Casinos Chasing Away Suspected Card Counters

Blackjack players who use card counting as part of their strategy will have to reconsider where they play as it would appear that land based casinos have wised up to this strategy and are now trying tog et rid of card counters as soon as they spot them.

This is sure to make life difficult for card counters as these casinos are becoming increasingly smarter in spotting blackjack players who employ card counting methods. Casinos have now developed a sort of system that begins to follow players who start to win at blackjack and monitor them closely via the casino video cameras. The moment the player is suspected of using card counting techniques, the player is asked to leave and is then escorted out of the casino

Another step taken by land based casinos to deal with card counters is asking the dealer to reshuffle the cards so as to inconvenience the player. If there has been no proof on camera of the player counting cards, these winners are given a small talk in aback room by casino authorities that diplomatically warn them about card counting techniques.

Needless to say, these players are probably put on a suspected card counter list and are monitored whenever they play in the casino again.
