Using real-time odds calculating software players can get the same information the robots use to determine their own betting, without cheating. For example, Pokulator software tells a player their overall odds of winning as well as chances to make a particular hand. This is the kind of information the robots are programmed to use, but armed with this information and a brain a real player could beat out a robot.
I saw a "100,000 games in 1" emulator for sale at a mall. Judging by it's $50 price it seems like it was a bootleg NES/Famicom system from China. Woudln't this kind thing by illegal to sell? Or does Nintendo license their ROMs? Anyway, seems like a convenient and cheap way to play your old games on a big tv and without a computer.
