If it does, I would hope that its usage is challenged, hopefully in court. The charge would be along the lines that Ken Houston brought against the AC casinos in the New Jersey courts, namely that if AC casinos were allowed to bar counters, they were implicitly admitting that blackjack was a game of skill and since the casinos were only allowed to offer games of chance they would have to eliminate offering blackjack. What a great catch 22 that was. The casinos backed down but were allowed to implement certain measures against counters however (e.g., no mid shoe entry). So if AC casinos install this counter detector I'll bet someone brings up the same issue as Ken Houston did. That being the case, counters will then flock in droves to AC. Of course there is a chance that this gadget will not be installed in LV anyway. If the system is subject to detection errors, even at a low rate (e.g., ~1%) a winning player who is not counting might sue the casino.
