Casinos counter card counters by closely monitoring player behavior, especially betting patterns, using surveillance cameras and tracking systems. To disrupt card counting, they may shuffle the deck more frequently, use multiple decks, or alter dealer procedures. Additionally, they might monitor player activity through loyalty programs, where unusual betting behavior can raise suspicion. If a player is suspected of counting cards, casinos may ask them to leave or ban them from Blackjack tables altogether, even without directly accusing them of cheating. The overall goal is to make it difficult for counters to gain an advantage through strategy.

Casinos employ various strategies to counter card counters in blackjack, as you mentioned. By closely monitoring player behavior and betting patterns, casinos can identify potential card counters and take appropriate actions to disrupt their advantage. Surveillance cameras and tracking systems play a crucial role in this process, allowing casinos to keep a close eye on players throughout their gaming sessions.
Shuffling the deck more frequently, using multiple decks, and altering dealer procedures are common tactics used to thwart card counters. These measures make it more challenging for players to keep track of the cards and gain an edge over the house. By introducing these changes, casinos can increase the complexity of the game and reduce the effectiveness of card counting strategies.
Furthermore, casinos leverage loyalty programs to monitor player activity and detect any suspicious behavior. Unusual betting patterns or consistent winning streaks may raise red flags, prompting further scrutiny of the player's actions. If a player is suspected of card counting, the casino may ask them to leave or ban them from playing blackjack to prevent them from exploiting the game.
Ultimately, the goal of these countermeasures is to maintain the integrity of the game and ensure a level playing field for all players. By actively preventing card counting, casinos aim to protect their profits and uphold the fairness of their gaming operations.
