History - Breaking Vegas Card Count King

Follows the revolutionary rise of the legendary blackjack team, the Tommy Hyland Team. Beginning with Hyland's bold decision to turn blackjack card-counting into a business venture, we follow as he implements a multi-person card-counting system. The well-oiled plan works without a flaw, and the team begins collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from blackjack tables worldwide. Eventually, when several teammates were captured in a Canadian casino and placed under arrest, Hyland put his freedom on theline to win their release--and to settle the legal status of card-counting once and for all. The result was an extraordinary trial that provoked furious debate between casinos and blackjack players over the fairness of card-counting.
