I am not sure about the cost issue. If you can reduce your surveillance staff, get information to the pit where they can hawk the right table, seems to me they might actually save stuff. If they suspect card counting at a particular table, if they could use technology to tell them what the count is at a table instantly, would it not help them? Instead, they have to call upstairs and get someone to look into it?
