Eye-in-the-sky

I would appreciate any insight regarding the following subject:

I live in an area where there are several small "casinos" which only offer table games due to local laws). Sometimes these "casinos" have only 1 blackjack table in action at a given time. Still, I have noticed that there are security cameras on the ceiling just like any large casino.

My question: Do I need to worry about a "counter-catcher" on the other end of that security camera scrutinizing my play? Or, is the camera there just for catching foul play, dealers stealing, etc. I can't see how a small card house could afford to employ a surveillance person when there are so few tables/players, especially one who is adept at detecting card-counting. Is it possible that the cameras are fed to a central monitoring hub where it would be cost-effective to employ a counter-catcher? (note: some of the "casinos" are part of a small chain).

I am confident that my cover against the pit is okay, but I worry about what goes on behind the "eye-in-the-sky."

Thanks, Theo

...we don't know. You have lots of casinos. They are owned by different people and have different policies.
It is quite possible they have a guy up there who can count cards, or thinks he can count cards, and detect card-counters. But most of the time he will probably be busy doing something else. Unless he has some reason to investigate your play he won't bother.

Unless you are betting big money, you can do far more damage to yourself worrying about detection and making extravagant cover plays than you can by getting barred.

Modern blackjack is tough. Your priority should be playing correctly in accordance with your system so that you actually win some money. Then you have a blackjack career worth attempting to maintain.

so if there are any disputes, they can play it back to settle the dispute.
