I didn't report on Ben Affleck being removed and banned from the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas for counting cards. They stated he was just too good of a player and banned him.And now this ... It supposedly happened twice in less than a month.  Hollywood actor Ben Affleck has been disciplined by yet another casino, this time in Canada, or so say rumors that were circulating this week via the Toronto Star.The 41-year-old star was reportedly asked to leave the Caesar Windsor Hotel and Casino in Ontario by that establishment's security on May 31.  Affleck was playing $5,000 hands at a card table.An insider told the Toronto Star: ' Ben walked in and went straight to the card games. His hair was a disaster, and he looked like a mess!''He sat down and played for roughly 20 minutes before security heard he was there. They made the dealers stop what they were doing and asked him to leave. Ben seemed pretty mad.' Another source said: ''It took me a minute to realize it was Ben Affleck. He looked disheveled and upset while sitting there gambling.' He seemed really frazzled like he had just lost a ton of money. He was smoking a cigarette and his head was down in his arms. When he sat up his eyes looked bloodshot, like he'd been there all night!' Those close to Affleck are telling other media outlets this never happened.But we do know the actor was banned from playing blackjack at the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas last month, allegedly for counting cards.Affleck is set to play Batman in the upcoming installment of that film franchise.<a href="http://www.gambling911.com/entertainment/did-actor-ben-affleck-get-kicked-out-canadian-casino-061214.html" >source</a> WINDSOR, Ontario -- Ben Affleck was allegedly asked to leave Caesars Windsor May 31, 2014 because of his poker prowess, the Detroit Free Press reported.Mr Affleck was previously alleged to have been banned from a Las Vegas casino for card counting, the report said.An Affleck source dismissed the latest story as pure fiction to a British newspaper, according to the Detroit Free Press report. <a href="http://www.casinocitytimes.com/news/article/affleck-source-denies-he-was-asked-to-vacate-ceasars-windsor-209485" >source</a>

Speaking to Details Magazine, Hollywood actor Ben Affleck confirmed reports that Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino security had asked the Batman star to step away from a blackjack table following a successful night of gambling while acknowledging he had engaged in card counting. That is a true story, Affleck said. I mean, that took place. I took some time to learn the game and became a decent blackjack player. And once I became decent, the casinos asked me not to play blackjack. I mean, the fact that being good at the game is against the rules at the casinos should tell you something about casinos. There's a lot of hospitality, backslapping, when they think you're gonna come in and dump money, and if they think you might leave with some money, it's like, 'You know what? Why don't you try craps or roulette?' He added: Usually, when you're a compulsive gambler, the casinos don't ask you to leave because you're beating them. You know? I will say this. There were a number of casinos that said, 'Hey, you can't play blackjack here. We know you count cards. But, you know, you're welcome to come, do whatever you want, see a show, have dinner. We'll comp ya. Play roulette, we know you don't play craps, but hang out, we still want your presence and business.' Affleck was not banned from the casino but rather banned from playing blackjack in that casino.Affleck also insists that tabloid reports of his wife Jennifer Garner's disgust over his gambling were completely fabricated.<a href="http://www.gambling911.com/poker/actor-ben-affleck-comes-clean-about-card-counting-accusations-%E2%80%98true-story%E2%80%99-091714.html" >source</a>

Way to go Ben! Normally if you continue to play a game such as Blackjack you obvious get better. Maybe I am biased since he is so darn cute!
