NOTI responded But then they accuse you of card pulling. The card readers are notoriously unreliable and inaccurate. This is probably the biggest problem with slots today. Eventually it will get fixed, but it will probably be awhile. These card reader problems have been around for decades and may have decades to go before they get fixed. The problems are complicated and it's easier for the casinos to just blame the customers, especially the video poker players.




I disagree. What she's talking about is removing her card between hands when nothing else is going on. Card pulling is done in the middle of a hand.
At Harrah's (CET) properties, I always remove and re-insert my card every 3000 or so points. I always assume I'm on surveillance and so I would not pull my card in the middle of a hand --- but I've never had a problem with pulling a card between hands.  Should I ever be confronted by casino employees who don't understand the distinction between card pulling and what I'm doing, I'm convinced that I'll be able to explain what and why I'm doing it.
