Last time I was in Las Vegas I saw a few people wearing sunglasses in the Casinos. After observing their play I found each of them was obviously a ploppy. Would this be an effective way to avoid being detected by facial recognition software, or do casinos automatically suspect people who wear sunglasses in the casino of counting?
attention to yourself I would say. Although I'm not sure what being "ploppy" is.
Personally I think somebody that wears sunglasses has "idiot" stamped on his forehead!
I would disagree that it will always draw attention. Example, I play poker in addition to BJ. Its very popular for poker players, myself included, to wear sunglasses during play and as part of your "persona" around the poker room. If you're in a casino that's known for its poker (like Binions) and play the BJ tables with sunglasses, some PBs may not give you a second glance. Of course, it helps if you've been seen around the poker room, but you can also use it as cover, as in, "I'm just stopping to play some BJ while I wait for my name to be called for 10/20 hold 'em".
BTW, 10/20 is somewhat of a high-level game so don't use this exact line at a $5 BJ table :-).
In fact I love Hold'm more then BJ, 10/20 is to steep for me though.
You are correct, if you normally wear sunglasses AND play poker then I suppose it's OK. Here in the midwest anybody that wears sunglasses just looks like a fish to me!
