From Current Blackjack News:
Missouri casinos may not bar players for skilled play. However, they can and will take countermeasures, which include lowering table maximum and/or reducing penetration, as extreme as shuffling after every round.
Some notice and react quickly, some don't. Like any other casino, the reaction is dependent on the competence and interest in their jobs of the crew on duty.

As somebody that played both the NJ/Missouri model for 5 years and the Nevada model of the cat and mouse game for 17 years now,, the Nevada model is night and day superior for a card counter. You just learn to play that cat & mouse game, what is and isn't tolerated at different casinos and you can play for years. NJ/Missouri on the other hand has only one option and that is to make the game unplayable with things like bet restricting and preferential shuffling.

Ok, in Vegas this year, I haven't had any of the usual polite backoffs that I get here, but I have had 3 what I call heat incidents. Two of them my picture was sent around electronically to sister properties in the same chain. The workaround, just don't play the casinos involved for a few months.
the third was an incident where the dealer pushed my bet back and dealt around me, I am sure at the instruction of the pit guy standing immediately behind him. The workaround: I treat this one like a back off even though I wasn't backed off and not a word spoken and that is to just stay away from that casino for a few months, and maybe that particular pit guy for 6 months.
But in New Jersey or Missouri, the casinos would have just made the game unplayable, cut the deck in half, bet restrict ect, and made it so you can't play. So to me the Vegas models with opinions is far better.
