question: canadian laws on card counting,

hello everyone,

i have a question for whoever can please help:

i am reading peter griffin's "the theory of blackjack". on page 7, he states the following is an official policy statement of the province of alberta's gaming control section:

"card counters who obtain an honest advantage over the house through a playing strategy do not break any law....gaming supervisors should ensure that no steps are taken to discourage any player simply because he is winning."

does anyone know if this is true or current? has anyone counted in alberta, canada? does this mean that they are not allowed to employ countermeasures, like they can in atlantic city?

thanks!

There should be a free sample issue. Canada sucks. Go for vacation and keep your play very limited and who cares about countermeasures?

I hope you meant blackjack in Canada sucks. I wouldn't argue with that, (although I only know about Ontario and Quebec).

It has all those goddamn commieliberals in it.

i called a couple casinos last nite in vancouver......they have six deck shoes, resplit aces, surrender, and 1,000 limit tables.......why does it suck? just asking. have you guys played up there and found conditions worse than this?

i see, so they have bad pen? how bad is it? do they put the cut card 3 decks down in a 6 deck shoe? thanks.

what is cbjn? im a newbie! where can i get a copy/subscription?

it's not expensive at all.

Card counting and littering now carry mandatory death sentences, which are issued by citation by casino personnel and are not subject to judicial review and are therefore implemented on a "same day" basis. Culprits are set upon ice flows, along with incontinent senior Eskimos, and placed into currents bringing them into equatorial waters.

What's mixed about this development? I hate litter.

are the closely guarded reasons.

Some background info.
The non-thinking idea was sneaked in by American casino managers who don't want their patrons using their heads while playing.

Because Canadians like to think for themselves, the subject was thoroughly researched.

It was found that card counting was really an attempt at suicide.
Rather than being bombastic Canadians prefer to use reason and example. It was decided to give Canadian counters a realistic feel of what it's like to be an American counter.

Just before sinking, the Canadian is rescued by one of their aging
helicopters(just to make the experience more realistic and terrifying). Afterwards if the intervention failed and the player still wants to count the cards, he's free to do so.

Hi jefftrader

Newbie like yourself. Just joined the board so just saw your initial post. BC Casinos don't care if you count...not the ones I play in. One company that owns a lot of casinos has continous shuffle machines, csms, so no good. But a couple have a six deck shoe with following...

H17, DA2, DAS, ENHC, Late surrender...and they have a side bet called Lucky Ladies. Penetration's good...most times they cut 1 - 1.25 decks. Betting range is $5-$500.

I've seen some really open counters actually discussing it at the table...no one seems to care, no heat.

If you want more details, email me on the side and I'll be glad to give them to you.
