I was just wondering if anyone can take a look at these rules for me (i am new to blackjack and dont have a full idea of what to look for in terms of rules) and tell me wether it would be possible to card count at this casino?Any help would be appreciated. |
It's possible to count cards at any game of blackjack, but it's more a question of would it be profitable to do so. It looks like this casino uses 4 to 8 deck shoes with Las Vegas Strip rules. Assuming they use something like 6 decks, the house edge is .36%.
Edit: I see that I sort of failed to actually answer your question. Using a simple count system like Knock-Out Rookie, you would have a very modest advantage over the house. Not much though, and it will depend a great deal on the penetration which is an unknown variable. Spreading from one unit as your minimum to ten units as your maximum expect something like a .50% advantage. If you do not know basic strategy
absolutely and completely then expect to lose.
Do a search of the forum for information regarding both basic strategy and Knock-Out Rookie, since both of these topics have been discussed in depth already. There are alternate card counting systems which you might want to consider as well. As I see it, the bottom line is that you could create an advantage for yourself at the casino, but it won't be a huge amount.
