Actually, yes, but it was only 2 security and not half a dozen. When Crown first opened in Melbourne they were stupid enough to open with single deck blackjack and allowed $1000 per hand max wager. You didn't have to be the sharpest tool in the shed to go in there and realise some reasonable money could be had even if you were a mediocre card counter. I managed to do it for 4 weeks before 2 security staff escorted me out and asked me never to come back--kill joys.


In the early days of Crown there were a few card counting groups doing well out of Crown. I even know of one European syndicate that took them for a lot over a two week session.


8 deck auto shufflers put an end to all of that :( Argh, the good old days when Crown were stupid.
