In January of 1979, after fighting for a month with both card counters and the Casino Control Commission over how to handle card counters at their tables, Resorts International began what came to be known to card counters as “The Experiment.” For a two-week period, the Casino Control Commission required the casino to allow all card counters to play unhindered at their blackjack tables without any betting restrictions or shuffle ups. All games had to be dealt out two-thirds-67 percent of the cards-between shuffles.
