Optical Recognition System To Foil Card Counting?

Posted by michael on from the house-always-wins dept.

Adair writes "Wired is running this article about a new Optical Recognition System by MindPlay being evaluated by some casinos to keep constant track of table game play in order to identify card counters by their patterns of play. The software, using 14 digital cameras around the table, can keep track of every card played, amounts bet, and even tell the difference between your drink, napkin, cards, chips, and ashtrays."

    This is interesting, but it sounds as though it is only useful against individual card counters. What could it do against a team of counters like in this older story by wired?
