canadian casinos....
i spent 2 months working in ontario 2 summers ago and made maybe 20 trips to casino niagra and casino rama, as well as a few to brantford (the home of the great one !!!).
i intentionally tried to get myself tossed from brantford just to see what you could get away with there. the rules were da2, das, 8 decks, ns, nrsa. the limits were $10- $100 in the main floor and $25 - $200 in the so called hi limit room.
i was using ko at the time. just to be as obvious as possible i did 3 things: i kept the count by using a stack of "loonies" ($1 canadian coins)in front of me, i flat bet $25 til i reached the pivot and then went immeaditally to 2 X $200 and when the count got hot i turned my baseball cap around and put it on inside out in traditional "rally-cap" style and started hooting it up. my friend (a good bs player) was bent over in laughter at the sight.
it took about 15 minutes, but i finally got a "tap" and stepped away from the table. the pb said, " we know you are doing something with the coins, and though we don't exactly know what, its illegal to use any 'counting device' in canada, and we consider those loonies to be a 'counting device'."
i said fine, and they allowed me to continue to play. i finished up the shoe and got tired and went home.
i didn't ask, but i surmised either they cannot bar counters in ontario, or they felt that with the 8 decks and crappy pen, it wasn't a good enough game for them to get worried about.
by the way, i found casino rama to be my favorite by far as its a nice plant and the pen was better there than in brantford or casino niagra.
i haven't been back there in 2 yrs.....
