Computers 747 - Computers Can Detect Card Counters in Casinos

Computers 747 - Vegas card counters have met their match. Now, casinos have computers and cameras that are equipped to spot counters within 20 hands.

The computer measures the patterns present in the game of Blackjack and then detects if the player is making higher bets when the cards left in the deck are favorable. The computer will alert hotel security, who will then throw you out.

Some Vegas high rollers are irked at the computer technology, as card counting is not illegal. However, most casinos will ask players whom they suspect are counting cards to leave.

The new technology is not out yet, but it will soon arrive in major gambling towns like Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
