When counting cards in Blackjack, is it OK to use your slot card for comps at the end

(If you think you've avoided detection, that is!) Thanks in advance, Bob.

Well, don't get too greedy. If it's like your first time, and you didn't win a ridiculous amount, then it probably is. Some people do get lucky at times, but remember detection is possible after an observation of a series of patterns. If you use your card several times, then their database will show an abnormal winning streak pattern, and believe me, they'll be at you all the time from there on out. As for any ethical advise, screw the casinos :-) Take as much as you can before getting kicked out

I think you'd better find a new hobby, the one you've chosen is going to get you locked up and in "The Black Book" forever. Just how lucky do you feel. If you get caught counting cards in any Nevada casino you'll find yourself A)in jail. B) barred from any gaming establishment for the rest of your life. In Nevada that includes most gas stations, grocery stores, hotels, etc. Trust me, it's not worth it. Especially when you try to get a job and your prospective employer finds out you're a convicted fellon and a card cheat. Back in the day they'd just hang you.

Revolvur2000:You're gravely mistaken. It is NOT illegal to count cards anywhere in the United States. Bob P will NOT end up in jail for doing so like you state BECAUSE IT IS NOT ILLEGAL: Card counting is just thinking while you’re playing. How can it be illegal to think? Casinos are private clubs. At most, they would ask him to leave the casino. Usually, they would just ask him to stop playing Blackjack but he could play anyother game in the casino. Check your facts before you post please to prevent spreading misinformation.

Yes. always use your comp card at any casino when you play any game there, you can rake up some great freebies by doing so.Hand the card to the dealer when you buy in at the table and get logged in by the pit boss. This will record the amount of time you spent playing at the tables and accumulate your comps while you play. And here are some tips on how to get more and better comps when you play: http://www.thedoverpro.com/blackjack...no-comps.htmAs for the card counting, it is not illegal. Casinos do not like successful card counters, and if they think you are counting, then they may ask you to stop playing there, or just to leave. But also the edge that card counting used to produce is just not there anymore. With all the rule changes the casinos have pretty much negated the effect that card counting can produce, so it is much more tolerated now. In fact, after the movie 21 came out, which dramatized and fictionalized events that occurred years ago before all the changes were made, the casinos were deluged with would be card counters. The casinos simply smiled and said "Welcome" since they knew that the vast majority of them would not be successful at it. It takes skill, discipline and experience to count cards at blackjack successfully!Good luck!

You don't have to worry you'll be donating to the casino just like everybody else. Card counting does NOT WORK in casinos, the casinos make sure of it. That you can bet on. Why do you think all these card counting people are on TV and the internet, peddling systems instead of in the casinos?
