- swader999 7y agoWith face/gant recognition and other means of tracking, once you are barred from play at one casino you are at almost all.
- swang 7y agothey already had this long before facial recognition came into play. they were called griffin books/black books. when you were "caught" they took a photo and a company called griffin investigations would pass this info around to all the other casinos.
- defen 7y agoSo was there a person who had the job of memorizing hundreds (thousands?) of faces from a book and then watching every person who came to the tables?
- swang 6y agoThese people eventually start winning money at the tables, which will draw attention from casino security. When that happens, yes, someone at security would have to recognize the person there. But once that happens security will also notify the rest of the casinos and its pretty much over by then.
- pas 7y agoWhy don't they just add a lot more cards, like just use 20 decks?
- ec109685 7y agoAt that point, they should just use a continuous shuffle machine. I think there is a nice psychological effect of a deck that can truly get “hot”, where the odds actually do temporarily turn towards the players favor. The life is sucked out the game if things are truly random on every deal.
