Default Re: Questions about becomming a pro blackjack player

that would be bad if pit bosses read this forum, huh? Also, a few people on bj21.com have stated that it would be terrible for me if mgm banned me from their casino. Do the major casinos ban you just from bj or from their casino in general?

A few pit bosses probably do read this forum. Plenty of casino workers try their hands at poker. To answer your question, it varies. Sometimes you get barred from blackjack, sometimes you get barred from all tables games, and sometimes you get escorted off the premises and told not to come back. It really depends on the policy of the individual casino (or casino group). At most MGM-Mirage properties, if you're caught counting cards, you'll generally just be asked not to play blackjack anymore. At the Rio, they might just up and throw you out altogether. But, it's impossible to keep up with the policies of every casino, because they're always changing. What's more, it varies by shift. One shift manager might ask you not to play blackjack, while another one might tell you to leave.
