Vegas on the hunt for iPhone users

Vegas on the hunt for iPhone users

Author JoeDigital

Sorry to those iPhone users who don’t know anything about the latest issue, but you guys are going to have to be careful when using them around casinos especially when you’re playing. This is because Vegas has already been informed of an iPhone application that is going around that helps players count cards in blackjack games.

This $1.99 Blackjack Counter is a very cheap piece of technology that would help out the old-age technique in winning this particular card game. The software is even designed to function discretely so as to use subtle means of alerting the player of when to make big bets by merely vibrating after calculating based on the present cards inputted by the player. Unfortunately, this practice, even done manually, has been frowned upon by gambling leaders everywhere. More so, the use of such technique with the help of a computer is downright dirty.

MP3 players and iPod users better watch out too, because Vegas is speculating that this kind of technology can be used there as well. Anyway, most casinos strictly prohibit the use of mobile gadgets while inside their establishment way before this controversy.
