BLACKJACK CARD-COUNTING APPLICATION CAUSES A STIR.

An interesting little app designed to give Blackjack gamers an advantage is causing quite a stir in the gambling community. An application for the iPhone and iPod touch that enables users to count cards has recently come to the attention of Nevada gaming officials who have been eager to point out to potential card counters that using any gadget to "aid in the counting of cards is considered a felony under Nevada laws governing cheating." The development may lead casinos to change their policies on cellphones, especially at the Blackjack table.
