The question being asked today is what is the future of card counters in black jack. are the times of counting cards over? Many believe so.
Automatic shuffling is being utilized in todays tables which makes tracking shuffles or counting cards impractical. The land based casinos are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.
It’s believed that in places like sin city, surveillance cameras are being utilized to monitor the skill of the players and smart blackjack tables that tracks players hands and game plans using magnetized chips.
The gambling control board in Nevada, an agency that protects fair gaming has made a decision that betting houses may not alter the games in a way that would alter the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada casinos train their dealers to count cards and shuffle whenever they want, and also a wide variety of betting houses keeps information on card counters, this information consists of names and pictures to keep them out of the game.
So what will be the outcome of this black jack "war"? is it just starting or will it soon reach a resolution? Despite all their latest technology, political and money influences, I believe there is a hope for a joyful ending. With more than twenty-five states within the US offering chemin de fer games, there are more profit opportunities for card counting than back in the olden days.
