I enjoyed the movie ’21’ thoroughly, mainly from the thrill of watching someone try to beat the system with some high powered mathematics, and if you lack the brain power to do so manually at a casino near you, there is some help in the form of a Blackjack Card Counter software for the iPhone. It relies on a vibration that alerts the user when is the right time to place a big bet. We wonder whether casino operators are aware of this scheme, and what will they do to prevent it from happening? So far none of the casinos in Nevada have kicked any of their gamblers out due to iPhone use, but will iPhone owners be checked the next time they walk through the doors of Caesar’s Palace or Bellagio? Knowing human greed that often beats out common sense, we await news for the first person to get caught.
