From the article:
"We've taken the time to truly understand the topic (remember card counters make up only .00024% of our gaming population)"
I wonder if he pulled that statistic out of his ass, or if it came as the result of an actual gaming industry-backed study? I have never seen such a specific figure as that cited, so I am curious.
It is also incredibly small - 0.00024% is 24 out of every TEN MILLION people who walk into a casino, or roughly one in 400,000! That seems a bit too small. The most common and generalized statistic that I have read is that 99.9% (sometimes cited as 99.99%) of casino patrons are not playing with an advantage - but this takes it to another level.
Correction: The author does state earlier in the article that this statistic comes from a sample limited to his own casino over a 5 year period, with a sample size of 5 million guests. The qualitative standard given is that for inclusion into the .00024%, the individual must be positively identified as a "true professional caliber card counter".
