Congratulations, Mr. Babbitt.

Counting into a six-deck shoe is a feat.

I don't understand

what you're talking about.

We make videotapes, Mr. Babbitt,

and we analyze the tapes...

and we even share some of the

information with the other casinos.

These tapes suggest that you should

take your winnings and Leave the state.
