Nevada Casinos Nix iPhone Card-Counting Application
Illegal Gambling Tech - Nevada Casinos Nix iPhone Card-Counting Application (VIDEO) 2



Nevada casinos are on the lookout for an iPhone card-counting application that allows users to punch in cards in play to make predicting game outcomes easier. Although the application makers warn users that it is illegal to make use of the card-counting tool in casinos, there is a ‘stealth’ mode that blanks the screen to make detection more difficult.

There are several card-counting applications on the market. One of them, Bacon Bear Productions, warns, “This app is for entertainment purposes only. Counting in casinos may be hazardous to your health.”

For its part, the makers of "A Blackjack Card Counter," an Australian outfit called Webtopia, couldn't be happier about the attention being paid to its app as a result of its potentially illegal nature. "Since the Nevada Gaming Control Board warned casinos about 'A Blackjack Card Counter' there's been an unprecedented demand for this app," Webtopia wrote in the tool's official App Store description. "Now you can see what all the fuss (is) about at a very reasonable price." (news.cnet)
