Ken Uston blackjack technique
In the 1970’s, Ken Uston and his merry band of creative gamblers used hidden computers to win hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Their ingenuity attracted the attention of the FBI, which examined the computers and decided that they were not cheating devices, and therefore were fair and legal.
Players rushed to apply the lessons of Uston’s method, but many casinos decided to adopt a multi-deck system of play, which complicated methods to improve the player’s chances.
Uston himself was banned from several Las Vegas casinos and was eventually found dead in a Paris apartment in 1987. But the game lives on, and prospers in almost every self-respecting casino, traditional or online.
