The question being asked today is what is going to be the future of card counters in twenty-one. are the times of card counting over? Most would say yes.
Automatic shuffle machines are being used in casinos today which makes tracking shuffles or card counting impractical. The land-based betting houses are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.
It’s believed that in locations like vegas, surveillance cameras are being employed to analyze the skill of the gamblers and intelligent blackjack tables that keep tracks of gamblers hands and game plans utilizing magnetized chips.
The Control Board in Nevada, an agency that safeguards fair gambling has made a decision that betting houses may not alter the games in a way that would change the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada brick and mortar casinos instruct their dealers to card count and shuffle as they please, also a wide variety of betting houses retain information of card counters, this information consists of names and photos to keep them from playing the game.
So what will be the future of this blackjack "battle"? is it just beginning or will it soon reach a resolution? Regardless of all their newest computers, political and monetary affects, I have reason to believe there is a chance for a happy ending. With in excess of 25 states inside the US offering blackjack games, there are more profit opportunities for card counting than back in the olden days.
