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.
