Blackjack Card Counter Gets No Southern Hospitality From Oaklawn

[CPT Savajo]

Goddamn Oaklawn! What a bunch of sore losers, Oaklawn gets their asses kicked at their own Blackjack game and they resort to banning a player for 5 years and refuse to pay him his winnings! Gimme a fucking break! This is the true nature as to how casinos act towards winning players for using their wits to beat the house. This incident didn't even make the local news but it should have. I could train an army of card counters to go to war with Oaklawn on their Blackjack tables.

Here is the overview of what happened:

"Following an incident in May 2025, Oaklawn Casino in Hot Springs, Arkansas, kicked out a card counter and banned him for five years. The gambler, known online as "Brutal Chameleon," won $18,887 at the blackjack table but was initially denied a payout. He eventually received his full winnings after involving the Arkansas Racing Commission.
