The question being asked at this time is what is the outlook of card counters in Blackjack. are the times of counting cards done? Many believe so.
Automatic shuffle machines are being used in todays tables which makes tracking shuffles or counting cards impossible. The brick and mortar betting houses are going to place shuffle machines at the tables.
It’s believed that in places like sin city, video cameras are being employed to look at the skill of the players and smart twenty-one tables that records players hands and strategies using magnetized chips.
The Control Board in Nevada, an agency that protects fair gambling has ruled that betting houses may not alter the games in a manner that would change the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada brick and mortar casinos train their dealers to count cards and shuffle whenever they want, and also a wide variety of betting houses retain information of card counters, including names and photos to keep them from playing the game.
So what will be the outlook of this chemin de fer "war"? is it just starting or will it quickly reach an end? Despite all their newest technology, political and monetary affects, I have reason to believe there remains a hope for a happy ending. With more than twenty-five states inside the US offering black jack games, there are more money making possibilities for card counters than back in the olden days.
