Wireless Gambling in Nevada

In the summer of 2006, don't be surprised if you see many people gambling as they walk in casinos in the state of Nevada. The state will be the first one in the United States to permit wireless gambling equipment to be used inside casinos. Devices such as the portable Blackjack Game brings Vegas-style action in the palm of your hand.

In order to get your hands on one, you would have to register with a casino by showing valid ID to get one. They can only be used in certain public areas of the casino like restaurants, bars and convention centers. The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City is waiting with bated breath to see how things work out for Nevada. If all goes well, other states will soon follow.

There are many pros and cons to this idea. It could help teach players certain techniques required to play well in poker for example. Playing in front of many people in a casino can be overwhelming. On the other hand, this can cause an increase in problem gambling, especially in children cause most devices look like toys.
