That part about signal trumping voice command was very interesting… I an see how it can be used to the players advantage, but I don’t like the implications… The casino will probably follow the video, but now they know the player is a cheat!
Dwight,
We definitely aren’t recommending anything that is “cheating.” The point of the video is that casinos can only make decisions based off of hand signals. If you say “Stand”, but waive to take a card, you cannot convince them that you meant to stand. Because the cameras will clearly show you signaling to take a card. We don’t recommend doing this intentionally. This is just to understand how important it is to know both how to use hand signals, as well as why they exist.
