Ben Affleck banned from Hard Rock Casino for counting cards
What happens in Vegas sure didn't stay in Vegas for Ben Affleck. The actor was reportedly caught counting cards during a game of blackjack in Las Vegas on Tuesday, April 29.
TMZ was first to report the 41-year-old actor was in Sin City with his wife Jennifer Garner when he was approached by security after they spotted the Argo actor reportedly counting cards.
Despite reports the actor is now banned from the hotel entirely, a source tells Us Weekly the actor was banned only from playing blackjack, but allowed to play other games. A rep for Hard Rock adds to Us: "Mr. Affleck, a valued guest of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is not banned from our property and is welcome back any time."
"Security said, 'You are too good at the game,'" the source says, adding: "The hotel was really nice about it and told him he could play other games. They ended up getting him and Jennifer a car back to their hotel too"

It's not illegal, he's just very good at making the casino give money away.  I say good for him.

I don't get it, how they know for sure he is counting cards unless he is counting out loud? Don't you have to be really quick and very smart to do this?

"...after they reportedly spotted him..." How do you spot someone who is doing something in their head? I think if you're smart enough to be able to do this then more power to ya!

Re: Ben Affleck banned from Hard Rock Casino for counting cards
I dont count cards (or gamble at all really) but I know a few people who did. You dont automatically win every hand but it tips the odds in your favor and you might make some unusual calls (hitting or staying when a typical person wouldnt, or betting more or less at certain points). I am surprised they could tell and that they would call out such a high profile celeb. You would think they would rather have him play there...

It's not illegal, just frowned upon. Like masturbating on a plane.
