In the old days, the lights used to dim for a second when pictures were being taken. But with today’s technology, the counter will likely never even know that he’s being filmed. One clever casino ploy involves letting the card counter "hang himself." This can occur if you’re suspected by pit personnel of card counting, and then all interest in you suddenly ceases. Sometimes the pit even seems deserted. What’s really going on is that surveillance is recording your every move and play, and local personnel are giving you free rein to show them everything you’re made of before the hammer comes crashing down. Just because a suit isn’t watching your game called blackjack
doesn’t mean ten pairs of electronic eyes don’t have your face, your cards, your bets, and your eyes plastered across seven thirty-one-inch television screens in the surveillance room.
