Casinos on alert for card counters using iPhones




From TUAW -

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Nevada gaming authorities are warning casinos about gamblers using an iPhone app to count blackjack cards. (Card counting per se is not banned in Nevada, but the use of technology to count cards is a felony.)

But now iPhone apps like Card Counter or A Blackjack Card Counter has made it much easier to cheat. In particular, the latter's stealth mode use of vibration to alert the user when the time is right for a big bet makes it difficult for casino security to catch the user.
