Online Poker Bots Becoming Problematic?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the robo-flushed dept.

scumbucket writes "MSNBC has a story about how poker bots have started to appear on internet gambling sites and the implications. It also talks about how a 'master level' poker-playing bot already exists. Could this proliferation of poker-playing bots undermine the almost $1 billion online gambling industry?"

    Casinos are owned and operated by professional criminals and gangsters etc. More fool anyone who sets foot in one or parts with any money in one.

    A fool and his money are easily parted. With casinos, he may also get a free pair of concete boots.

    Multi Billion dollar industry upset that somebody is taking their profit away.

    Alternate response: DUH.

    If you can play the stock market with bots, its gonna be possible to play poker with bots. They're both about moving money from one person's pocket to another.

    If your site/application/etc is so poorly designed that anything but a human player can compete, sux to be you.

    And yes, I do believe that Moonshine should be legal.
