Card counting is a strategy primarily used in Blackjack games and it is designed to lower the house edge and give the player an advantage over the casino.

The strategy is not deemed illegal, but casinos have the option to ban a player from gambling if they suspect he has been using this tactics to gain an advantage over the casino.
