The Card is information and analysis, not a promise of results. Leans are the desk's model read; the ledger shows every one, hit or miss, and is never edited after the fact. Lines change; always confirm at your book. 21+ where applicable. If gambling is a problem for you or someone you know, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
