What if card counting were allowed?

We know that Las Vegas aggressively bars card counters. Atlantic City lost a lawsuit to the legendary Ken Uston and is required to not bar someone from counting.

But let’s take a comparison of the two games:

In Las Vegas, you can find pretty much any kind of game you want. Some single deck, 2 deck, 4 deck. Good penetration in the shoe.

in Atlantic City, nearly every every blackjack game is 6 or 8 deck, with maybe 50% penetration. Sometimes even 40%!

In other words, not barring card counters means the casinos have to come up with ways in which the game is awful for the counters. (This in itself opens up the ridiculous betting systems using amounts, which we don’t need to get into) In Vegas, yes, you can get removed from one, and therefore all, casinos if you’re marked and put in the book. But in the meantime, you’re in for some excellent games of blackjack.
