Surely the better perfect strategy computer would just be like, a hidden camera in your glasses or tiepin or something that would use computer vision to detect cards in its field of view, and once it’s seen a card once, knock it off the list for a while. So as long as you just looked at each card, it could update its state and know what’s left

How? Please explain how the casinos cheat today using shuffling machines? The machine is designed to stop false shuffling scams and to increase productivity its by getting more hands per hour. The mob did not cheat utilizing machines. The message was that the dealer can still cheat (by other methods) is a shuffling machine is employed.

The perfect strategy computer will be a big threat to casinos in the coming years. With biotechnology now being a thing, the signal device could be implanted subdermally somewhere on the body. And there are already eye prosthetics with cameras in them. AI can be used to read the cards on camera, self-driving cars and facial recognition cameras do it every day. Combine the two, and you won’t even have to signal the perfect strategy computer, it can read the cards for you and tell you how to play through a small vibrating subdermal implant. Or a subdermal speaker in or near your ear. Use your phone as the processor for the whole operation, or have the phone connected to a PC somewhere in the world with serious processing power.
Going to be interesting to see how technology is both implemented and combated in gambling going forward.

Why is it considered cheating? It is a skill. No reasonable person would believe that the casinos just don’t like the odds not being in their favour they are happy to use every possible trick to take money of people. And the man just represents his employer who no doubt pay him well?

I was a dealer and a dual rate in the business when the Phil Ivey thing went down. Most everyone’s view was, the casino that let him set the rules was just asking to be taken. If a player is telling you to change the rules it’s for a reason, and not one that’s good for the house.

Card counting is NOT illegal as long as you are doing it your head.

In my book if the casino has a mathematical advantage and I start winning and thats a problem to you then if I’m not winning, the casino is cheating, by the fact you have a mathematical advantage.

@Jerry-OSBB
May 9, 2025 at 8:04 pm
So its okay for casinos to cheat and count cards but not the customer. Isn’t counting or being kind of aware of what might be left in the deck natural? Instinctive? I think casinos just stop anyone who is winning and say they are cheating. They can’t prove you are cheating. Casinos are just stealing money.

The only card game (or casino game for that matter) that is mathematically winnable for the player assuming no one is cheating is blackjack. Your odds aren’t great, but they are better than 50%. Everything else? It doesn’t really matter what you do, you’re still losing.

I like how he completely avoided answering the question at 13:46 lol. So let me answer for him:
Basically because 1) they were a highly trained team of several people with a big bankroll available 2) they did it for months 3) card counting was relatively new at the time, so casinos were not prepared for it 4) there weren’t any shuffling machines (CSM or ASM) back then, all shuffling was done manually by the dealer, which allowed the count to actually stay fair and, well, countable

Speaking for myself I do not gamble at casinos. Life itself is a gamble & crap shoot.

I saw a documentry many years ago about beating the casinos. One part of it featured the guy who invented the
blackjack computer you put in your shoe. He and his son started testing it in real casinos. His son was winning so much money
the casino at the time took him to a back room questioned him and at some stage found the computer in his shoe. All this was handed to the authorities.
Luckily for them the police or the FBI , at the time, could not figure what the computer was being used for. They got off without being charged with anything.

Slot machines, well, guess what, much like 98% of electronics, they can not handle magnets, and be forced into a restart pretty easily. So the first step is to low bet and create a before and after sample size to see if the casino is fu…dging you.
After that there’s a lot of brute force tools that would be blatantly obvious and set off the coin door sound, but there’s also _others_ .
Fun facts!

If you are not cheating, but are card counting are simply wicked smart. Is it legal or illegal for them to put you into a biometrica database? You did nothing wrong, but they are taking your personal information about you and putting it in a data base to sell or use.

Answering the thumbnail question. Card counting is not illegal. It’s also not cheating. It is making calculated decisions on the cards that have been played and the possible cards remaining. It is very difficult and a lot of the time does not pay off necessarily. Casinos want you to think its illegal because it has a higher chance of beating the house vs straight instinct playing with your feelings/Gut instinct. It is the same as playing poker and understanding the odds and reading your opponent. Except your opponet is the casino not another player so the casino calls it againt their terms of servervice/play.

@XalenPrime
May 14, 2025 at 5:33 pm
It’s illegal because rich people who own the casino paid to have laws put into place so that smart people wouldn’t be aloud to outplay them and take their money. Like most laws, they only matter if you’re too poor to pay your way out of it.

Casino’s are a fools game. Unless you cheat well, you shouldn’t waste your time and money here. These places are made for people to lose all the time. You win small occasionally to emotionally manipulate you to gamble more. You never truly win big. Oh and if you do have legit skill, you get added to a database, so also discriminated.
