The question being pondered at this time is what is going to be the future of the black jack card counters. are the times of card counting done? Most believe so.

Automatic shuffling is being utilized in casinos today which makes shuffle tracking or card counting impossible. The land based betting houses are going to place shuffle machines at the tables.

It is stated that in locations like vegas, surveillance cameras are being used to analyze the skill of the gamblers and smart twenty-one tables that records gamblers hands and schemes using magnetized chips.

The gambling control board in Nevada, an agency that protects honest gaming has made a decision that casinos may not change the games in a way that would change the frequency of the pay outs. Since then, many Nevada casinos train their dealers to count cards and shuffle whenever they want, and also almost all of the betting houses retain information of card counters, including names and pictures to keep them from playing the game.

So what will be the outcome of this twenty-one "battle"? is it just beginning or will it quickly arrive at an end? Regardless of all their latest tech, political and monetary influences, I have reason to believe there remains a chance for a happy result. With in excess of twenty-five states inside the US allowing black jack games, there are more money making possibilities for card counting than back in the good old days.
