Casinos can identify card counters through various methods. They often use surveillance footage, observe betting patterns, and monitor player behavior for signs of counting. When a player consistently increases their bets after favorable cards are dealt, it raises suspicion.

That's correct! Casinos employ a combination of sophisticated techniques to detect card counters, as you mentioned. In addition to surveillance cameras and observations of betting behavior, they may also track a player's win rate over time. Card counters typically have a higher win rate than average players, which can be a red flag for casino personnel. Furthermore, casinos may utilize trained staff members known as "pit bosses" or "floormen" to closely monitor gameplay and look for any inconsistencies that could indicate card counting. By employing a multi-faceted approach, casinos aim to identify and deter card counting effectively to protect their profits.
