The question being pondered at this time is what is the outlook of card counters in twenty-one. are the days of counting cards done? Most would say yes.

Automated shuffle machines are being used in todays tables which makes tracking shuffles or counting cards impossible. The land based casinos are going to place shuffling machines at the tables.

It’s stated that in places like Las Vegas, surveillance cameras are being utilized to analyze the skill of the gamblers and smart black jack tables that records players hands and schemes by utilizing magnetized chips.

The Nevada State Gaming Commission, an group that protects fair gambling has made a decision that casinos may not adjust the games in a way that would change the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada betting houses instruct their dealers to card count and shuffle as they please, also a wide variety of casinos keeps 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 twenty-one "battle"? is it just beginning or will it quickly reach a resolution? Regardless of all their newest technology, political and monetary influences, I have reason to believe there is a hope for a happy result. With in excess of twenty-five states within the United States allowing twenty-one games, there are more profit prospects for card counting than back in the olden days.
