LAS VEGAS, May 6 — Ben Affleck has just been banned for life from the blackjack tables in the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas, after accusations of being “too good at the game”.
The actor and director was in the gambling capital with his wife Jennifer Garner when he was approached by the hotel’s security, who accused Batman himself of counting cards.

The establishment allowed Affleck to continue to play the other games in the casino, and reportedly even sent a car for the couple when they were done, with a source claiming that “the hotel was very nice to them.”
Counting cards isn’t illegal, but is highly looked down on, and is the key plot point for so many movies you couldn’t count them.
This isn’t the first time that the A-lister has been busted for being a card shark though. Back in 2001, at the very same hotel, Affleck apparently counted his way to winning US$800 thousand (RM2.6 million), so it is no wonder that he wanted to try again. — Cover Media
