They never marked a card. They never rigged a machine. Every hand, they played by the exact rules the casino itself printed on the felt — and still walked away with millions.
This is the true story of the MIT Blackjack Team: how a group of students turned a math professor’s 1962 theory into a disciplined, company-run operation that took on some of the most heavily surveilled buildings in America. And it’s also the story of Ken Uston, the man who took the casinos to court over the right to count cards — and won, in a ruling that still stands today.
