I wonder. Do security personel consider tracking card counters as their top priority ?
Born in Texas and lived in Texas my whole life.

I would say 100% no.
Patron safety and preventing patron theft is the number one concern.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

I’ve once overheard casino staff talking, and they were laughing and not pissed off, but one of their coworkers (I’m guessing former) had come into play and they knew the person was counting cards. While laughing they stated “they know it doesn’t work” and let the person continue to play but still apparently said something to the person that they were talking about. This is an overheard conversation so take it with a grain of salt.

Top priority for most people working in a casino is customer service. That is definitely true for security on the floor; identifying card counting is about zero-percent of their job.
