The question being pondered at this time is what will be the future of card counters in Blackjack. are the days of card counting done? Many believe so.
Automated shuffle machines are being utilized in todays tables which makes tracking shuffles or card counting futile. The brick and mortar betting houses are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.
It is said that in locations like Las Vegas, surveillance cameras are being utilized to look at the skill of the gamblers and intelligent blackjack tables that keep tracks of players hands and game plans using magnetic chips.
The Control Board in Nevada, an group that protects fair gaming has ruled that casinos may not alter the games in a way that would change the frequency of the payouts. Since then, many Nevada brick and mortar casinos instruct their dealers to count cards and shuffle as they please, also almost all of the casinos retain information of card count, this information consists of names and pictures to try and keep them from playing the game.
So what will be the outcome of this black jack "battle"? is it just beginning or will it before long arrive at a resolution? Despite all their most recent technology, political and monetary influences, I believe there remains a hope for a joyful result. With more than twenty-five states inside the US allowing twenty-one games, there are more profit possibilities for card counters than back in the olden days.
