Hackers Rig Casino Card-Shuffling Machines for ‘Full Control’ Cheating::Security researchers accessed an internal camera inside the Deckmate 2 shuffler to learn the exact deck order—and the hand of every player at a poker table.
Why is there a camera inside the shuffling machine
Nvm, it’s in the article:
They found that the Deckmate 2 also has an internal camera designed to ensure that every card is present in the deck, and that they could gain access to that camera to learn the entire order of the deck in real time, sending the results from their small hacking device via Bluetooth to a nearby phone, potentially held by a partner who then could then send coded signals to the cheating player.
The main question should be: Why is there an internal camera in a deck shuffler in the first place?
It’s described in the article and there’s also a comment quoting that portion from the article.
You are underestimating my level of laziness.
For tournaments like this, do the players get to choose between machine-dealt and hand-dealt decks?
