The Tech Used to Catch Vegas Cheats
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?"
"If they get rid of that...I think it will hurt the slot games decidedly."
It does, I now hate slot machines because they're all with stupid cards. What's the point of even pressing a button? The chances are you'll lose anyways so why not even out the fluctuation and just get charged at a certain rate of dollars/minute depending on the machine. You just put in your credit card and get autmatically debited money while watching the numbers roll on the screen. Kind of like pumping gas.
