No, you can't criminalize a thought process.
True, it is not illegal, but it's really treated like it is.
No, but you can't use any electronic devices or paper or anything to help and don't move your lips when you try to remember because then you'll most likely get kicked out.
Further although card counting, or counting cards, is just play the game extremely well. and this means more winnings for you and less profit for the casino. hence why when you are caught the casino asks you to leave. unfortunately you can't just walk in to the next casino, as they all use face recognition software to advise them of people already caught card counting. but good luck with your exploits!
yes i do agree from zanerr
Yes, counting cards in Las Vegas is considered illegal. Casinos in Las Vegas and other locations around the world use a variety of techniques to discourage card counting, including shuffling the deck more frequently, using multiple decks, and even banning players who are caught counting cards. While some casinos may tolerate a certain amount of card counting, it is generally considered a form of cheating, and those caught doing it can be banned from the casino, have their winnings confiscated, or even face legal consequences.
It's not illegal in the sense that you will be prosecuted if caught; however, they will eject you from the casino and possibly blacklist you from returning.
Yes, using a machine to count cards in the US is illegal in all casinos. Sorry but you will just have to count cards with your mind.
YES, the casino can ban whoever they like, its their premises.
Yes they can if they choose to, and most will, at least in the U.S.
I don't know if it is a "sin", it is however legal. What is illegal is to use any kind of electronic device to count cards.
You cannot purchase chips at a casino with a credit or debit card. You have to use an ATM to get the money and then purchase the chips.
Casinos don't want people counting cards at blackjack because casinos don't want to lose money. If a casino suspects a player is card counting, they will start to keep a close eye on the player and analyze the action. They want to see if the player is a significant threat before they go through the disruptive process of asking him/her to leave.Assuming you're playing at high enough stakes to matter to the casino, and you're keeping an accurate count, and playing your hands correctly, and betting correctly, the casino may then decide to ask you to stop playing. There are many ways they may handle this.As a professional blackjack player I have been asked to leave casinos a handful of times. Here are my personal experiences...1. The casino might just ask you to stop playing blackjack, but allow you to stay in the casino and play other games. They say something like "you're just too good". They'll never say you're counting cards.2. The casino might nicely ask you to leave the property. They'll usually tell you that you're no longer allowed at any of their sister properties either.3. The casino might be a little more aggressive and rudely tell you to get out. Contrary to what you see in the movies, nobody is going to touch you as long as you walk out of the casino. The last thing a casino wants is a lawsuit from being physical with a patron.When asked to leave a casino you are allowed to keep your chips. The casino will not try to take your money. Card counting is not illegal and is not considered cheating.Note: Casinos in Atlantic City by law are not allowed to make players leave due to card counting. They will simply try to worsen the game conditions so that the game becomes unprofitable. Casinos in Las Vegas can ask card counters to leave because the casinos are private property and are legally allowed to refuse service to anyone they want.
In general, yes. There were some MIT students barred from playing in a casino a few years ago because of a card counting ring they were involved with, but other than that, almost anyone can play in a casino.
No it is illegal and considered stealing. You will go to prison.

The casino cashier will determine how much is on the card and then cash it out for the appropriate amount.
When it comes to casino card games, there are a lot of games which require card dealers. Two of the more popular card games involving dealers are Blackjack and Poker.
Successful card counting depends on a number of factors. The most accurate counting methods are often the most complex, which makes them more difficult to master (and consequently, less effective), particularly in a casino environment. I lived in Nevada for 3 years in the late 1990s and taught myself the 2-level count in Bryce Carlson's book, "Blackjack for Blood." It took several months of practice before I felt I was ready to start using the system, but while I was there, I won over $20,000 playing blackjack on weekends. I started at $2 tables and eventually played almost exclusively at $25 tables. Before you try learning to count, make sure you know basic strategy perfectly. If you don't know basic strategy, there's no point at all trying to learn card counting. I started by counting down decks of cards (one card at a time to start, then two at a time) in my apartment until I could count faster than I could deal and predict the value of the last cards 100% of the time. The second step was to practice counting in a casino. I sat at $2 tables and flat bet the minimum for hours until I could keep track of the count, talk to the dealer and the players around me and order my one beer (and endless Cokes) per session. Eventually counting became almost automatic. The final step was to implement the betting and card play changes based on the count. Play with discipline--set limits and stick to them. Don't chase your losses--and there will be plenty. Card counting only shifts the odds in your favor by a couple percent at best, so you have to be in it for the long haul. Card counting isn't something you can learn from a book right before you head to Vegas for a weekend. Back when I was playing, there were plenty of two-deck, hand-dealt games in Reno, so the conditions for card counting were ideal. I was barred from one small casino in Carson City, but never felt any heat in Reno or Las Vegas. It's probably difficult to find a good game these days. The last time I was in a casino was 7 years ago, and they used continuous shuffle machines, rendering card counting useless. I haven't been back since. Even under bad counting conditions, blackjack usually offers the best odds in the casino for somebody who plays perfect basic strategy, so it's the best way to spend a few hours in a casino. Good luck!
then it is not free and considered prostitution
There really isn't just one formula for card counting. I wouldn't even say its a formula, its more of a system. If you want a basic system for card counting i would Google "hi/low card counting system". That's probly the easiest one to start off with. Good luck man
