Look for the smug card
player
Las Vegas casino operators are banning iPhones from the card
tables after smug owners had been caught using illegal card counting
software.
Nevada State gaming control officials have sent warnings to casinos
about card-counting software that turns iPhone smart mobile telephones or iPod
Touch MP3 players into illegal tools for winning at blackjack .
When the
program is used in the 'Stealth Mode' the phone looks like it is switched off.
Players using the program simply tap a virtual button on the screen each time a
card 10 or higher is turned up and tap a different button for lower-value
cards.
The application was first seen in the American-Indian casinos in North
California.
We hope that the users were scalped. Not because they were
cheating, but because they were smug gits who think they are geeks because
they use an Apple blessed bit of kit.
