The Future of Chemin de Fer Card Counters
The question being asked at present is what is the future of the black jack card counters. are the days of counting cards over? Most believe so.
Automated shuffling is being utilized in todays tables which makes tracking shuffles or counting cards unlikely. The brick and mortar betting houses are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.
It is believed that in places like Las Vegas, surveillance cameras are being used to monitor the abilities of the players and intelligent blackjack tables that monitors players hands and tactics by utilizing magnetic chips.
The Nevada State Gaming Commission, an agency that protects fair gambling has made a decision that casinos may not adjust the games in a manner that would affect the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada brick and mortar casinos train their croupiers to card count and shuffle as they please, also almost all of the casinos retain information on players who, this information consists of names and pictures to keep them out of the game.
So what will be the future of this black jack "war"? is it just starting or will it soon reach an end? Regardless of all their most recent tech, political and monetary affects, I believe there is still a hope for a happy ending. With in excess of 25 states in the US offering blackjack games, there are more money making possibilities for card counters than back in the olden days.
