In the last few years, I've been barred or close to that at a few casinos in different parts of the country. I have grouped them into the following categories. I would appreciate any suggestions on how best to deal with these locations in the future:
1. At a Vegas, Northern Nevada, and Mississippi casino - on the way back from a bathroom break, or just with a tap on the shoulder by a pit boss, I was told that I could no longer play blackjack but could play certain other games. Should I return to play at these casinos after perhaps three to four years and then not give them my player's card or ID? Do you think they would still recognize me?
2. A year ago, at a Vegas casino, I was told by a pit boss, in a negative voice, that he knew I was counting cards but he did not bar me. I left the casino soon after he told me that. Do you think he/they made a note on my record? When do you think it would be safe to return? Should I show them my player's card or other ID?
3. At a Vegas and Northern Nevada casino, it became totally obvious to me that I was being watched by the pit bosses there. More than one came over near my table and totally watched my play. I soon left. How long do you think It would be safe to return to these two casinos? Incognito when I return?
Interestingly, I get mailings from all of these casinos with offers of various types of free things to return to their casinos.
