If there's a device that is reading the cards and then displaying them, im sure they could easily keep count and weed out counters.

True, but that's if the programmer wrote some kind of an algorithm within the programming to keep the count. That may be giving the house too much credit. If the surveillance crew had the count upstairs could you trust those guys? I mean really. A big player would be just a phone call or text away for when the table is HOT. Not a very smart move for a house of ill repute. Using there own technology against them wouldn't you say?

I think I remember Las Vegas casinos getting in trouble for cheating using these machines. They were using them to catch counters and started shuffling away good counts which was using a device to alter the odds of the game. It is just as illegal for the casinos to do it as it is for you to use a device to change the odds of the game.
It's a fuzzy memory. Possibly another jurisdiction or some other issue with Mindplay machines (i think that is what they are called).

Look at the section on Methods of Cheating by casinos. Mindplay is listed as "using a computer to gain an edge, which is illegal in most jurisdictions".
If you are going to play these machines you might want to read these links to see how you can be cheated and how you might spot the cheat happening.
