Ben Affleck wasn’t counting on this.
Hard Rock Las Vegas officials aren’t bluffing as they have banned the forthcoming “Batman” star for life from playing blackjack at the casino after he was caught counting cards, a source close to Affleck told the Daily News.
“You are too good,” a security guard told the Oscar-winning star Monday night at the casino’s high-rollers’ blackjack table, the source said.
Translation: no more blackjack for Affleck. However, he’s welcome to try his hand at other games at the Hard Rock.
Affleck and actress wife Jennifer Garner were in Sin City for a romantic getaway before Affleck starts filming his “Batman” reboot in Los Angeles and Detroit.
Casino management ordered a car to take the Hollywood hunk, 41, and Garner, 42, back to their hotel, the source added.
“The hotel was really nice to him,” according to the source.

Card counting isn’t illegal — but is frowned upon by every casino. The betting tactic involves adding card values to decide when — and when not — to place big wagers.
Back in 2001, Affleck raked in $800,000 playing blackjack at — where else — the Hard Rock in Vegas.
Witnesses saw a then-29-year-old Affleck drop $150,000 in tips to dealers and waitresses in the high-rollers’ Peacock Lounge.
The silver screen veteran starred in a 2013 movie, “Runner Runner,” about cheating at online poker.
The Hard Rock did not immediately reply to a Daily News request for comment.
