Answer 1

It would be extremely hard especially considering that some places use multiple decks so you never know which cards have been used from each deck. I guess you could try to but it would be a lot harder than it used to be.

Answer 2

I work as a 21 dealer in downtown las vegas. At the casino I work we only have single and double deck which both still pay 3-2. If your the only player playing you get 5 hands on single deck, 4 hands if theres 2 playing, 3 hands for 3, and 4 to 6 players only get 2. You can easily count the cards and on double deck there face up. The only problem is dealers are required to call out cheques play to alert the floor person of a significant raise in a players bet. The floor will watch your play, and its usually obvious looking at players bets if there counting cards. All what happens if your counting cards is the pit boss asks you to only do flat bets, thats all. They don't kick you out.

Answer 3

Continuous shuffle machines makes it impossible. The count is always 0 with these machines because each hand starts with a new deck.

Automatic shufflers diminish natural card clumping which affects the number of shoes that deviate from the norm and thus lowers the number of both good and bad shoes which makes counting harder.

Bet ranges are just too limited to make card counting worth while.

Casino staff is not retarded and security is such that you will be noticed very quickly. They will cut off more of the shoe, replace dealers with ones who are fast, they will send pit staff to talk to you, they will ask you to leave.

Card counting simply does not work in any modern casino.

Answer 4

All of what these people say is true,In today's  world you probably can't count cards in casinos.However,there are the small games, the gambling boats,little hotels in the carribbean, small cuise ships.  Many of these still use the old method of running a casino because they have never made enough to update everything. the only thing they probably upgraded was security. And on these smaller casinos and ships most personnel are losers that couldnt make it in vegas or A.C.

Answer 5

There is not one continuous shuffle machine in all of atlantic city at any blackjack table as of the last time i went, which was not long ago.

The number of decks does not effect the ability to count cards very much at all and it is 100% deployable as a weapon to assault a casino with.

Continuous shuffle machines, at one time were actually countable, if you knew how they worked inside.  This is no longer tha case, but they are beleived to still have exploitable weaknesses, to VERY savvy players

Automatic shuffle machines only detur shuffle tracking and shouldnt be viewed as a threat to card counting (generally)

You can still win money,  I have and if you have the motivation, you can too, provided you play long enough.
