BJ Player Banned for absolutely no reason, not even mistaken identity.
(I've got to say the video goggles seems a bit rich. Meta camera glasses.
Comment #4: Most casinos do not allow video recording while seated and playing at the tables. )
Comment #1: He didn't confuse him for anyone named Andrew... that is a common tactic for them to get your real name and run a check on you first, without raising suspicion.
Comment #1B: He got his passport to get his name to put him on the banned list - No, he wasn't on there before and yes, this guy is very petty.

Comment #2: I won $2,500 at the Soaring Eagle casino near Saginaw, Michigan. It was a black jack table with a gimmick that if you hit a queen/ace suited on the draw, it pays out 50 to 1. They immediately asked me to leave. No reason. No way I was counting cards. They just didnt like losing. I sat next to an old man who said he had been at the same table for 17 hours straight, losing money the whole time. He said I was the first person to hit the queen/ace suited in all of his time playing. They kicked me out for winning.

Comment #3: watch some of his other vids. Andrew is one of his friends

Comment #5: You can win as long as its natural luck, but remember ...they are counting the cards along with you, if your betting up when the count gets high, you will be going to be gone real quick.

Comment #6: it's like a pub in England, they are called public houses. Hilariously Kier Starmer, the PM, is so utterly despised he tried to do a publicity shot and buy a pint in a pub and got barred as he walked through the door. Nothing he can do, landlord has 100% discretion 😂

Comment #7: Saying why he's banned could open up the casino to liability if the PB says the wrong thing. So there's just no point in saying it since they can refuse service to anyone. It's not like breaking up with a bestie.

Comment #8: I work at a casino, “the world’s largest” if that gives it away. If you’re caught with any kind of recording device, or meta glasses, you’re perma banned on the spot. Obviously it only applies to the tables, but yeah they’ll throw you out immediately for that.

Comment #9: Working in a Casino, we often do not tell people why they are being banned. This is to avoid wasting time.
Regardless of justification or retort, once the decision has been made it will NOT be reversed at that moment. If you do want to fight it, it's best to wait at least 24 hours and try again.
Regardless, being told youre evicted in the middle of playing is going to be frustrating. Especially when the people notifying you have zero power in the decision.

However, understand that once a decision has been made it's typically policy that it can not be reversed within the same 24 hours. This is to prevent people from thinking they can get their way. As such, even if you provide the reason at that moment there is nothing they can say/do to reverse the decision. Sadly, far too many adults would rather stand and argue their point than accept that it's final- which further hurts their chances of appeal. Ergo, from a security standpoint, it's much less grief to notify them they must leave and nothing more.

Typically, a patron can return after 24hrs (or through a specified means) to talk with someone who can either uplift the ban or give them clarification as to the circumstances of it.

Comment #10: “Go home safe bro” -nicest threat I’ve heard in my life..

Ray-Ban META Gen 2 Smart GLASSES 3 MONTHS LATER -


I Tried EVERY Pair of Smart Glasses


These Smart Glasses Are Better and Cheaper Than Ray-Ban Meta in 2025!


Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses GEN 3 Will Replace Your Phone


Google AI: The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Gen 3 are anticipated in late 2025, rumored to feature upgraded hardware like a faster Snapdragon AR1+ chip, improved audio with a five-mic array, better battery, and potentially an in-lens full-color display for notifications and camera previews, alongside smarter, more visual Meta AI, with new styles like Apperol (sunglasses) and Bellini (prescription-focused). These next-gen glasses aim to bridge the gap between current models and true AR, focusing on hands-free convenience, but still maintaining the iconic Ray-Ban look with more advanced capabilities.
Should I wait for Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3?
If camera quality drives your decision, you should probably wait to see what Gen 3 delivers. Reportedly, Meta considers the current glasses' camera quality is similar to the iPhone 11 from 2019, aiming for the camera in the next gen to be on par with the iPhone 13. That is a meaningful jump for creators.

Same player at another casino. Gets banned on the spot, for the glasses!
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fLVL_SSo82Q

Comment #1: This is in SeaTac silver dollar casino lol there’s a sign that says no meta glasses so I’m sure they noticed 😂

Comment #2: he was originally told he couldn't play blackjack, because he is a known counter. card counting isn't illegal or even against casino policy but casinos are a private business who can refuse service to anyone for any reason they like.

Comment #3: getting banned because he's filming with glasses, the guy had a black marker to draw on his cam ... ex croupier here

That's Red Hawk. Always try to keep your cashouts low at a Pretendian casino. Anything can happen there. The only thing compelling them to pay you is that it's bad for business to get a reputation for not cashing people out, but for a large enough sum it will be worth it.

I think they probably needed the supervisor to handle the CTR which requires giving a SSN# which is not on the drivers license.

I have personally refused payment to many casino customers if they refuse to give SSN.

I’m trying to find the connection between Blackjack and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. How are these two things related? Do you imply that these glasses help card counting in Blackjack? The problem is even if the player is equipped with a pair of these smart glasses, he will not win blackjack.

The guy was wearing them while being booted from the casino by the pit boss. That seems to be the main scream behind every card counter video. Also other players need privacy. If you have a private table with stationary cameras and permission, we've seen those without hassle. Go watch Victor and his bad luck and foul mouth, and why that doesn't get him booted.

If you can get a private table with just wearing the new glasses next year, hopefully it has a long enough recording time for a 2-4 hour session to make a DVD. You don't have to be a known YouTube gambling star with 100K subscribers to get your foot in the door. You can just settle for the $100 minimums without a livestream fan base, and upload the footage later.

With these new AR screens (Augmented Reality screens) though casinos may object to having a blackjack strategy table on your glasses while you play, so they may just be banned on that. Also they may not want pit personnel in the video, so stationary cameras are allowed whereas glasses may not.

I actually watched a few more YouTube videos from this guy. The final conclusion is that these Canadian guys as a group haven’t made any money from card counting blackjack. They wanted to warn people from doing this. Is this right?

I know nothing of this channel (circusap) except he is a card counter dealing with 5 figure winnings on occasion.
The first video I selected on his page today was a short called:
"Corrupt Casino Pit Boss Refuses to Pay A Black Jack"
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xScgBLjv2w0

This leads to a few parts more:
"Confronting The Corrupt Pit Boss..."
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OwKVR-WbdF8

"Meeting The Corrupt Pit Boss (from 2 years ago)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eD79q5_aGvg

"Calling Gaming On The Corrupt Pit Boss..."
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0-xImZHIel4

'Flyered By Every Casino in Washington (2 years ago)'
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RkPk-Pl4M_g

Here's another video in the backroom, it may be a different casino though.

Seems he could have just taken his chips and gone to play another game. But as soon as he opened his mouth in response, it escalated to trespass. Looks utterly fascist to me.

Yes it's bad and suspicious to take pics of anybody else in the casino. What for? The only thing I've ever taken pics of was my own machine and my own stack, or just something fun or interesting in the casino and that's common enough where if it's clear you are not taking pics of anyone else nobody hassles you.

If you go to the casino down the road from "the world's largest," there is probably no regular that doesn't have this pic...

"Google Glass", when that was a thing, was also generally discouraged. Many places won't deal to you with earphones or an audio headset on. It is not uncommon to require someone to step away from the table to text or take a phone call.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Most of the card counting YT channels are geared around burning themselves down in the pursuit of content creation as its more lucrative.

Yes those videos are definitely malpractice.

I've yet to see an accurate and correct description of APs on film. It would be the most boring video ever. It's not just a coincidence that we're almost all guys.

But there is a classic song about us. I can't think of anything else Seger might be singing about, almost every line fits. "Never play the game too long!"

Just saw a video that was in 4K @ 60 fps and the player's recording device can only do 10 minute clips, so the camera dies on him constantly at the table. He was betting $25 single spot to $150 on two spots depending on the count. At the D he got flat betted, so he left after winning $900. He won $800 at a casino in another state in another video and the pit made the dealer shuffle up at 50% on a 6 deck shoe, so he quit then. He's trying to turn $10K into $100K as he visits casinos and does his counting. He's only up a few thousand as of a year ago.

He's getting turned away at casinos in the Northwest as soon as he enters, so he's flyered.
Surveillance makes a personal e-mail chat to this player, which is a very odd twist to a video. They be watching bet spreads of 1 to 10 on any single shoe, no matter the denomination. (So if I had a bet spread of $30 to $200 on a single shoe, it doesn't meet that criteria.)
