AccountinQuestion. If a machine can be put in a mode where it can sequence the cards back to original sequence then it has the
capability to put the cards in any order desire. How that happens, what needs to be done to make that happen is almost irrelevant. It has that capability and then we are all at the mercy of this dastardly and predatory industry to not do so. I hope we can agree on that.
STOP saying my purchasing a machine is not true. THAT is simply your opinion. I could put you in touch with the well known AP here in Vegas that I sold the machine to and there would be no questions asked because of who he is. But he doesn't want that to happen. He has used that machine and the knowledge he was able to get from it to make money.
I was able to purchase the machine, one used in an Asian casino from a black market type place on the internet. The kind of place I didn't even know existed. It cost me over 10 grand. In the video they say it can cost up to 20 grand now. That is probably right. I bought one 5-6 years ago. Maybe 7 now.
The reason this was so important to me is because of what I do for a living. When I encountered the first situation at East Cannery, my reaction was this is bad. But I assumed this was a one time thing. Like a rouge dealer dealing seconds. When you encounter that you stop playing that dealer and casino which is exactly how I handled it. And East Cannery at that time, was an independent small casino. loosely affiliated with another small casino in North Vegas, The cannery, but not exactly the same owner at the time, Shortly after this incident East Cannery was sold to the Boyd Chain, which never made much sense since Boyd has Sam's town literally a block away. And after the covid shutdown, Boyd never re-opened East Cannery. It still just sits there closed up with a sign directing people to Sam's town. But it was a small independent casino at the time, just the kind of place that you encounter this kind of rogue stuff.
So when I saw the second incident and it was a year or two later, as a player who makes a living from card counting, I immediately went into panic mode. Rather than an isolated incident, I was thinking this will start happening more and more and I needed to do something to try to blow the whistle and shut it down for self-preservation of my career. I say I wanted to warn other players and I did, but if I am being honest, I had no desire to do that after the first (east Cannery) incident, so maybe it was really just about me and self-preservation and warning other players was secondary.
So upon seeing that second situation, a year or two later, that is why I was so determined to prove to myself what was happening, so I could attempt to blow the whistle and stop it....for self preservation reasons. I mean I don't go out and spend 10 grand for a machine for amusement purposes.
So if you don't want to believe that....don't believe it. But it is 100% true and I wish you would stop calling me a liar based only on your opinion of what you think happened.
