The law regarding card counting in AC

[Thunder]

In AC, if they suspect you of card counting, what are they legally allowed to do?
I know they can shuffle or decrease the penetration, but other than these two things, are they allowed to do anything else in AC?

I believe they can make you flat bet.

All the above are correct. They can also give you different limits than anyone else at the table. For example, once I was at a 50/3000 table, and they pulled out a special sign just for me with 5/50 limits.

YOU HAD YOUR OWN SIGN?!

That's awesome. I'm checking airfare to newark right now.

ROFLMAO. The worst I ever had happen to me was when I was in vegas and they decided to arbitrarily change the deck of cards, but that is just well cute. I gotta give them props for coming up with that.

LOL. That's pretty harsh. But they still let you spread 1-10. So did this sign have your name on it? "Sir, if you wouldn't mind, would you please where this sign whenever you come to our casino?"

I should try getting caught just so I can play low stakes in AC

I just got up and left. I was considering telling the other players at the table what happened and say "you know what you should do when I raise my bet," but I refrained, so I could go back there in the future without standing out in anyone's memory.

Speaking of custom signs, Hollywood Dave posted a hilarious story on one of the other boards a while back. They actually hand wrote a sign changing all the rules, like no splits, no doubles, etc. That probably violated the Casino Control Commission regs, as any change other than what's above, has to be cleared through them.

In the old days I had been limited to a 1-2 spread and frequently half-shoed (if I was not at a busy table).

But they still let you spread 1-10, however that is not advantageous when the penetration is poor, especially not with an 8 decker.
