Using a device for cheating purposes in US Western region state Nevada now is illegal. Most of the casinos have been warned about the most recent cheating mechanism. They will be punished if they use it in future. A special program that can be used on Apple’s iPod Touch as well as iPhone to help count cards is at the heart of the warning. An executive at one of Las Vegas’ casinos said, “If a player uses the program and is caught inside doing so inside of our casino, we will take the same steps that we follow in any other situation where cheating is involved.”
Actually the state was not the first to detect the program. The authorities were informed of the program’s existence on a tip from California gaming regulators. Then the Nevada Gaming Control Board issued a memo previous week to casinos in the state warning very clearly. Many say card counting using a device is not something like that is thought lightly. They think it is one type of felony offense in Nevada. On the other hand, over the years in the state have been several different cheating schemes that have been sniffed out by Nevada administration.
