Card counters have long dealt with casinos harassing and even banning them. However, they rarely have to face the courtroom. Card counting isn’t illegal in any well-established gambling jurisdictions. After all, skill-based play isn’t a crime.

A mid the coronavirus pandemic, state lotteries across the US have seen mixed and opposed results. Since March, Texas, Arkansas and Montana and several other states have seen an increase in sales, in part, driven by housebound residents putting cash down for scratch-off tickets. But lottery officials say other states, like Massachusetts and Oregon, confronted revenue drops due to stay-at-home orders that forced the closure of restaurants, bars and some retailers selling tickets. Some also blamed a lack of an online presence, something only a handful states currently allow, according to an analysis by the Associated Press. “We got used…
