Card Counting at Pala Casino

Pala Casino does a pretty nice job of sending out a steady stream of promotions including cash vouchers, hotel rooms and occasional invites to tournaments. The tournaments are good since they play with just one deck, but use double deck rules. This gives card counters plenty of opportunity to use their skills in a short period of time.

The majority of Pala’s blackjack tables are 6 decks that have a $500 max bet if you jump in on the middle of a shoe. It’s helpful to know this restriction if you’re card counting on a team and signaling in a big bettor “MIT style”. I recommend that if you’re counting cards you stay on the main floor and don’t play in the high limit room where you’ll draw more attention. I can’t say I religiously follow this tip myself though.
