The question being asked at this time is what is the future of card counters in Blackjack. are the times of card counting over? Most believe so.
Automatic shuffling is being utilized in casinos today which makes shuffle tracking or counting cards impractical. The land-based betting houses are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.
It is stated that in locations like sin city, video cameras are being utilized to look at the abilities of the players and intelligent twenty-one tables that records players hands and tactics by utilizing magnetic chips.
The Nevada State Gaming Commission, an agency that safeguards fair gambling has ruled that betting houses may not alter the games in a way that would affect the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada betting houses instruct their dealers to card count and shuffle as they please, also almost all of the betting houses retain information of card count, including names and photos to keep them out of the game.
So what will be the future of this blackjack "war"? is it just starting or will it quickly arrive at a resolution? Despite all their latest tech, political and money influences, I believe there is a hope for a joyful ending. With more than 25 states inside the US allowing chemin de fer games, there are more profit possibilities for card counting than back in the olden days.
