• The future of AP?

    VR is on its way. Seems a rather expensive setup, in both equipment cost and real estate required.

      An expert gamer learns to clean house on them, so do they take countermeasures from there to make it absolutely unbeatable?

      Retina recognition software will soon identify all skilled players and they will see something that makes it tougher for them than the average ploppy.

      Yes Tarzan, the game conditions will continue to transmogrify.

      Yes Tthree, once they get to scan our retinas at the table,
      we are 'cooked' ~ so 'stick a fork in us, we're done.'

      I am glad that the advancing years, while unkind to me;
      have left me with memories of how Las Vegas was long ago !

      Don't worry about a thing. As soon as they start scanning our retinas...we will start wearing contacts that defeat the scan.

      The light refraction index of your cornea is substantially different from that of polymers.

      ergo, the software that records your corneal signature will "see" your contact lenses, and

      thus, I assume, will be able to adjust for same, and "see through them."

      Oh well,

      I will just have to go for the cornea transplant. I hope my replacements don't come from a previously identified AP. I have had everything else replaced...may as well go with corneas too.

      My point was if you put a VR helmet on your eyes are in the device. Don't you think they would build retina scan identification into the VR helmet?

      If they do this intelligently, they will make it parimutuel in style. Or, take a rake as in Poker. Or, like tourney BJ. That is, the casino will have no risk, other than investment, and therefore not need to spend too much effort on surveillance.

      And apparently players can ALREADY be banned? Which means it CAN be beaten.

      "Betting on virtual reality games may sound strange. Video game gambling remains controversial, as recent bans handed out by Valve to Counter-Strike players prove. Time has proven that people will bet on almost anything that’s enjoyable to watch – so why not VR?"
