Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal
An anonymous reader writes "Gaming commissions in Nevada are informing casinos that a new card counting program has made its way to the Apple iPhone, called Hi Lo. This program can be used in the Stealth Mode. When the program is used in the Stealth Mode the screen of the phone will remain shut off, and as long as the user knows where the keys are located the program can be run effortlessly without detection. Randall Sayre, of the Nevada Gaming Commission says 'Use of this type of program or possession of a device with this type of program on it (with the intent to use it), in a licensed gaming establishment, is a violation of NRS 465.075.'"
Why is it that it's illegal to gamble with your electoral vote, and it's illegal to give weapons to strangers, but it's ok to piss your money away in a casino?
Seriously, what makes money different from a vote or a gun? You're obligated to take responsibility for those things because it's reckless endangerment of your fellow man if you don't... what makes people think money is different?
Seems to me that going to a casino in the first place is just plain negligent...
