Casinos to Monitor for iPhone Blackjack Card Counting App

Las Vegas - An iPhone (NASD: AAPL) application that can aid in "counting cards" while playing blackjack has been identified as a potential violation of the law by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The "Blackjack Card Counter" can run in "stealth" mode, meaning the buttons a user would press to update the status of the dealer's deck can function even though the iPhone's screen is dark. "We wanted to put the industry on notice to be aware this device is out there," Gaming Control Board member Randy Sayre told LVRJ.
