You've got to be fucking shitting me. The entire place is dishonestly obtaining financial advantage .
If casinos want to be able to use laws like this, they shouldn't be allowed to kick out people who are too good at the games.
My understanding of people who count cards on Blackjack(The only situation where it is "too good at the games") is that a Casino put restrictions on their play when caught - they can only play 1 box, and at minimum bet. And that is assuming that a Casino isn't just using Continuous Shuffling Machines.
This at least used to apply at Skycity Adelaide. Because yeah, it isn't a crime to have a good memory.
It'll depend on the casino and the player. A heavily bankrolled team or individual card counter are more likely to get kicked out than someone who's doing it for fun and winning on the order of a few hundred dollars. This guy has a bunch of videos showing his experiences as a professional card counter and how casinos often like to skirt around the law when dealing with card counters
True but dishoest and legal..
