For those, who plan to count cards in the casino

The key is showing your desire to leave once you’ve been read the Trespass Act. Even today, casino personnel might still try to get you into a backroom for interrogation, along with requesting identification and holding a picture-taking session. If you are actually being “backroomed” against your will, ask that the police be called. Then ask if you’re being arrested. If you’re not being arrested, say, “I’m leaving. Do you plan on holding me against my will?”

The long and short of it is that you should avoid being “backroomed” at all costs. In Nevada and in many other jurisdictions, if you’re barred for any reason other than misconduct, you must be asked to leave the premises before being detained. That’s your ticket - take it and leave as fast as possible. You neither have to show ID nor pose for a picture against your will. It’s only if you refuse to leave, for whatever reason, that they then can backroom you and detain you for the authorities. Or if you’ve committed a felony on the premises - which you haven’t because t card counting doesn’t qualify as one. If you’re forced against your will into a back room to either show identification or to undergo a picture-taking session, it’s probably time to consult an attorney. That’s definitely a lawsuit, and could end up being your most profitable blackjack session to date.
