RAIN MAN 2.0 is a card counting AI that's destined to be the ultimate blackjack player! Created using machine learning and Python, RAIN MAN 2.0 can easily count his way through a deck of playing cards. To identify cards, he uses a YOLO v3 detection model trained on 50,000 synthetically generated images.

This video explains how he works and what I plan to do with him. It's the first video in a series of videos that I will be posting as I build out his functionality.
