He was a bit too good at the old blackjack, apparently.

The Hard Rock Casino have denied banning actor and director Ben Affleck from its premises in Las Vegas, despite reports that he had been told to ‘do one’ for counting cards at a high rollers table.

Affleck was reportedly told by hotel staff that he was too good at the game and couldn’t play, but the casino have now come and said the ‘Argo’ filmmaker is welcome any time.

“Mr. Affleck, a valued guest of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, is not banned from our property and is welcome back any time,” hotel spokeswoman Abigail Miller stated.

The 41-year-old was on a break with wife Jennifer Garner before going back to filming the new Batman vs. Superman film.
