The question being pondered at this time is what is going to be the future of card counters in Blackjack. are the days of counting cards done? Most believe so.
Automated shuffling is being used in todays tables which makes tracking shuffles or card counting impossible. The land based betting houses are going to insert shuffling machines at the tables.
It’s stated that in locations like vegas, surveillance cameras are being used to monitor the abilities of the players and smart black jack tables that keep tracks of players hands and tactics by utilizing magnetized chips.
The Nevada State Gaming Commission, an agency that protects honest gaming has ruled that betting houses may not adjust the games in a manner that would alter the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada brick and mortar casinos train their croupiers to count cards and shuffle whenever they want, and also almost all of the casinos retain information of players who, including names and pictures to keep them from playing the game.
So what will be the future of this blackjack "battle"? is it just beginning or will it quickly arrive at an end? Despite all their latest tech, political and money influences, I believe there remains a hope for a happy ending. With more than 25 states within the United States offering black jack games, there are more profit opportunities for card counters than back in the good old days.
