What kind of a scam is this shit?

How about someone else buys Caesars properties and kicks Caesars out for good?

Caesars Entertainment is a terrible company.
Bad for Gamblers. Bad for Employees. Bad for Nevada.

Remember when Caesars banned people for winning too much money?

Don Johnson shows how to beat the house (and get banned) in a few million easy steps

Johnson, 51, has been visiting Las Vegas for 30 years and makes it to town every six months or so. But he has been stripped of some of his Strip flexibility, bemoaning the unwillingness of Caesars Entertainment resorts to allow him to play blackjack at any of their casinos.

“I can’t play anywhere at any of their resorts. Not anywhere,” he says. “This is since I beat them out of $4.23 million in Atlantic City. It’s been three or four years, maybe, since I played Caesars here.” (Caesars Entertainment spokesman Gary Thompson confirmed today that Johnson has indeed been banned from playing that company’s casinos.)

On one of those pre-banning nights at Caesars, Johnson took a table and played $5,000 to $10,000 per hand, running up what was (for him) a modest win of $140,000. Afterward, in a characteristically generous move, he handed out $5,000 chips to a couple of bartenders and a trio of folks in his entourage.

Fuck Caesars.

Johnson gamed them by creating a record of being a losing whale, learned on the sly (with coaching) how to play near perfectly, then negotiated ridiculously generous terms to come play at various properties such that he was positive EV with the terms. Before the casinos figured out that he had dramatically improved his play to make him an EV+ player with those special terms, he walked away with huge wins. There's a doc video on YouTube from a few years ago in which he explains his trick near the end of the vid. So, except for banning him from playing blackjack, the Vegas properties could still welcome him if they don't give him generous terms to play other games. Except in AC, where they can't strictly ban card counters, they have to completely ban him from the AC properties to keep him from playing blackjack there.
