Interesting! Perhaps management intends for the dealers to press the button even though the system is offline. Sort of like having a video camera globe even if there isn’t a real camera inside.

I am a table games dealer. The casino I work at has the RFID sensors in the table. On the table there is a little white button for the dealer to hit when he or she closes bets. When the button is pressed the wager is recorded. Well, that is the theory behind it. For as long as I have worked in this casino the system has been offline. It is interesting to see new dealer’s that still press the buttons as they are trained to do.

It is certainly true that game conditions are not as good as they were ten years ago, but there is another factor that I think offsets that negative. Table games are spreading to new jurisdictions at a faster pace than I have ever seen.

For players who are willing to travel, there are so many new venues to play that I think this is something of a golden age for the game. If you get away from the well-worn games in Vegas, there are tons of fantastic opportunities at small properties all over the country. If your target bet size is anything up to a low spread in black chips, there are lots of places to get a decent game.

For a weekend warrior, this may not be much help. If your local games deteriorate, you may not have the flexibility to travel far afield in search of better conditions. But before you give up on the profitability of the casinos nearest you, make sure you look with an open mind at all the opportunities there. Look at other games, and look at promotions.

Hello, I have been studying card counting and basic strategy for 6 months. I have read the books that are recommended and practiced every day for about an hour or so. After recently reading a few posts online,pros have been saying that card counting is no longer what it used to be and that it’s nearly impossible to maintain a healthy living off of the game let alone making it worth your time playing. Is this all true? Should I even continue thinking of card counting as a part time job on the weekends to make some money?

Hi Haiko…your comment interested me as I found keeping the count and adjusting accordingly very difficult when you don’t play that often. I am playing basic strategy six deck and would be interested in knowing about your 5 tier sequence and bet ranging strategy. I currently ramp up my bets when winning and drop back to a basic unit on a loss or ramp down depending on how well I am doing. It would be appreciated if you would share your strategy so I may consider a more manageable playing and betting arrangement. Thank you.

Dear Ken
This is interesting information. I started playing our favorite game back in 2000 and have developed a strategy that allows me to win about 80% of my sessions. I am NOT card counting. I am using a 5 tier sequence and bet ranging strategy that works very well with 6 and 8 deck shoes, CSM, random number generators such as used on the internet. I will avoid single and double deck tables like the plague.
