LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada gambling regulators have warned casinos
about a card-counting program for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch
that can illegally help players beat the house in blackjack.
Card counting by players is not illegal in Nevada but using a
device to count cards is considered a felony.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board warned casinos of the program
last week.
Nevada learned of the program from California gambling
regulators who said officials at an Indian casino found customers
using it.
But board member Randy Sayre says the agency hasn't received any
reports of the program being used in Nevada.
Card counting can help blackjack players determine when they are
likely to win a hand and should adjust their bets.
