My AI Blackjack Journey
I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of AI and games, and blackjack, with its mix of luck and strategy, seemed like the perfect playground for experimentation.
So, I set out on a journey to create an AI system that could predict outcomes and improve my win ratio.
The first step was to train a computer vision model to recognize cards.
This involved gathering data from online blackjack sources, annotating and cleaning the data, and then training a YOLOv8 model using an ASOne v2 library.
The model was able to detect cards with high accuracy, and I further refined it by applying object tracking and isolating regions of interest for my cards versus the dealer’s.
The next piece of the puzzle was card counting. I explored various algorithms and open-source repositories to build a card-counting algorithm that could keep a running count and calculate the odds in real-time.
This involved programming game metrics and strategies, combining computer vision with card-counting techniques, and displaying card counts and probabilities on-screen.
One of the key challenges was balancing the desire to win with the risk of raising suspicion or getting banned.
I implemented a game strategy that included knowing when to intentionally lose, optimizing my winnings while flying under the radar.
Results & Challenges
So, how did it go? Well, I’m pleased to report that my AI system delivered a significant improvement in my win ratio.
Over a large number of hands, the AI-assisted play improved my winnings by a solid 28%.
However, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.
One of the main challenges was the technical complexity of integrating the various components.
From computer vision to card-counting algorithms, there were a lot of moving parts to manage.
Another barrier was finding card-counting algorithms specifically designed for blackjack.
While there are open-source repositories available, adapting them to the specific rules and variations of online blackjack required significant customization.
AI Performance & Metrics
Measuring the performance of the AI system was crucial to understanding its effectiveness.
I evaluated the computer vision model using standard metrics such as mAP (mean average precision), accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
The card-counting module was assessed based on its accuracy in calculating the running count and predicting the probability of certain outcomes.
Limitations & Future Prospects
While the AI system showed promising results, there are some limitations to consider. One is the potential for detection and countermeasures by online casinos.
As AI-assisted gambling becomes more prevalent, casinos may employ countermeasures to detect and prevent its use, such as shuffling the cards more frequently or using non-standard decks.
Looking to the future, AI in online gambling is likely to become even more sophisticated.
We might see the development of more advanced card-counting algorithms, improved computer vision models that can handle greater variations in card styles and backgrounds, and the integration of natural language processing for understanding and generating casino chat messages.
Final Thoughts
My journey into AI-assisted online blackjack was both exciting and illuminating.
It highlighted the potential for AI to revolutionize gambling strategies, but also the challenges and limitations that exist.
