Beginner Card Counter Bruises Blackjack Casino

A single blackjack player, who locals describe as an alleged beginner card counter, with a genius IQ and the memory of mutated elephant won over half a million dollars during what must have been one exciting blackjack game. This put an end to management’s dreams of finally seeing even a small profit from table games

The alleged beginner card counter, known as ‘Lucky Lenny’ in the world of online blackjack in USA, has been described by witnesses as a well-dressed man in his late twenties who wore a heavy gold ring with the word ‘lucky’ distinctly encrusted with diamonds on the right pinkie finger.

Even a beginner card counter who is winning at blackjack (and on a lucky streak) was all that it took for the casino to go in the red and for the Lucky Lenny to walk out with $568,290 of the casino’s money in his pocket.

At the news conference, Jennifer See, the spokes-model for the casino confirmed the approximate age and the amount won playing high stakes black jack. The casino refused to disclose the name, address, phone number, email and age of the blackjack beginner card counter.

Not sure why a casino would allow a real card counter to knowingly play. If you count well and bet appropiately the casino is sure to lose. In Indiana they let you count but lower the max bet and reshuffle every 6 hands to minimize their risk.

The dopey locals are saying that about him ... I've been told that the suits feel certain he's not a counter, he's not cheating, and he's just insanely lucky for now.
