The Tech Used to Catch Vegas Cheats

Posted by samzenpus on from the can't-fool-the-machine dept.

Black Jack writes "Interesting piece on silicon.com about the technology used in Vegas for catching the cheats. It goes into detail on a number of things from facial recognition and RFID to some CIA-developed systems for background checking staff. Surprised they're so open about what they do! ...or is this just the stuff they admit to?"

  3. Mitch Hedberg found dead! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Early in the morning, Hedberg was found dead in a New Jersey hotel room, reportedly from heart failure. He was 37 years old. His death was first announced by Howard Stern on his morning talk show and later confirmed by the Saint Paul Pioneer Press [2] from his home town of St. Paul, Minnesota. Hedberg had reportedly been preparing for his first HBO special.

    The specific cause of his heart failure remains unknown. He was born with a heart defect for which he received extensive treatment as a child, and the effect of drugs on this condition has been cited as a possible cause of death.

    Truly an American comic icon.
