So I will be starting college in the fall semester. I'll be living near a cruise casino. I have recently taken interest in card counting and I would like to try it as a hobby with some extra income. But I am aspiring to be more serious about it than just the occasional player when my bankroll can support it. Anyway, the casino I will be near has part time employment opportunities open. Both as dealers and as surveillance. I am considering applying to get some more knowledge on how the casinos work from the inside. Obviously, being employed here would mean I can't go in and count on my off time, but as far as learning what surveillance is looking for, and ultimately being able to thwart it at another casino, is this a good idea or not? And will working for a casino automatically put me in the Griffin Book or some other card counting database? I could notify my place of employment I can count cards, to be an asset to the casino, but would it be reported to not allow me as a patron at other locations? Even if they are in different states of the US? If there are any card counters with prior employment experience that would be very helpful. Thanks!
