This is a competitor to Mindplay and is now being used at a casino that I frequent. Should I continue to play until they ask me to stop? Or should I quit playing there now?
I think this is a different type of system than Mindplay. I believe that it focuses primarily on comps and rating.
I think this was the system that was introduced by Motor City Casino when they first opened. The system had two versions: one which keep track of average bet (for comps), and the more sophisticated version that would keep cumulative win data. I think the MC only had the simpler system.
The cumulative win data could hurt the longevity of some APs. The comp part of the system is fairly harmless. Except that the computer would know your betting spread. But it doesn�t know how those bets correlate with the condition of the pack.
I don�t think it was too successful at Motor City, although I am not sure about that. It may have been that all the violent players banging the table caused too many breakdowns to make it impractical.
It would probably be fairly easy to get around this system. If the CSM or Floor Manager knows you as Joe Schmo, all you'd have to do is get two player's cards with the same name and swipe them alternately so your built-up winnings weren't too obvious or too threatening.

MathProf,
I think this is also the simpler system. I didn't see anything in my opinion that would make the cards identifiable or scanable so that they could track the count to determine if you're an advantage player. Thanks for the info!
