I had an experience in one of my last casino visits that really surprised me. It was a single deck game and the dealer was counting all of the face cards as they would come out and recommending to players to hit or stand based on the number of face cards left in the deck. I couldn't believe it! I was under the impression that the casinos were deathly afraid of counters and had all employees on the lookout for evil counters. If this were the case, surely this dealer would not be "counting" cards. And no this was not a disgruntled employee that didn't care. He was very strict as far as making sure all players were following the rules. What's up with this?
