Like this guy who screwed them for over $4 million.
Don Johnson shows how to beat the house (and get banned) in a few million easy steps

Don Johnson is a fraud.
I mean, yes, he does play super high stakes blackjack, and yes, he walks away with a gigantic win every so often, just as any whale would.
He does not count cards and is a -EV player. I guarantee he is down huge lifetime, but he is so rich that he doesn't give a shit -- even to the point of handing out $5,000 chips as tips.
A player like that can get lucky and beat the casino if he only plays a few times, but given Johnson's regularity of play, there is zero chance he's up at this point.
Caesar's likely banned him because they simply did not want the variance of a player like that. Some casinos prefer the slow, steady, predictable income stream, and don't want to be damaged by a megawhale like this. I realize that Caesar's allowed that Asian guy from Oriental Trading Company to lose like $400 million, but he was constantly drunk and hopped up on pills, so I'm guessing he played so terribly that they couldn't pass up such an edge.
I presume that Don Johnson is a basic strategy player, meaning that he is a loser, but he is more likely to go for longer periods of time without losing, so Caesar's doesn't want to take that chance.
