Just got my new iPhone. The facial recognition feature that unlocks the phone is remarkable. Setting it up takes a little bit of wrangling. You have to move your head around for a while so it gets a complete image of all aspects of your face. But then it's ready to go and it's very efficient at recognizing your face to unlock the phone. Low light, glasses on, glasses off - no problem.
Need I say more? This is very bad news for APs. The future is here....
The future is really here:

Also I was not the unhelpful vote.

The 70, 80 , 90's were about deteriorating game rules and conditions coupled with better informed casino management. At the same time, the proliferation of casinos was sweeping the US offsetting the loss of playable games. Now we are faced with new technologies of facial recognition and, soon I expect, bet and card recognition with table cameras that can ID card counters.
These will not be a major factor as a result of revolutionary changes but more evolutionary drip, drip, drip. The new technologies will come into play at existing casinos as the depreciation schedules for hard assets expire on the existing technologies. New casinos will ALWAYS install the newest and best technologies and will be the most dangerous first.
I do not mean this to be gloom and doom but as a bell weather to alert us all that the future will be as it always has been, very different than the past.
Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!
I am sorry but the iPhone 10 is an American junk. The iPhone technology is so behind. The facial recognition feature should've been used two iphones ago. The iPhone 10 is just starting have the facial recognition. The facial recognition been on the LG G6 since last year. Apple is just starting to use OLED display when Samsung has been using it for three phone generations. The dual camera been on the LG phone before even Apple started to use it. Apple is still using 12MP camera when Samsung and LG is using 13MP. Apple is behind with their wireless charging technology, also. The LG G6 already came out with that feature in March 2017. I am looking forward to what Samsung and LG will roll out for their new phones in 2018.Originally Posted by Bigdaddy
The only good thing about the iPhone is their iOS. Their iOS perform better than top androids but iPhone's hardware is trash and it needs work. Also, iPhone charges for everything and they still don't have a micro SD slot.

iPhones are junk in general IMO. Apple has been mailing it in living on past reputation for at least 5 years. Which is not to say technology is not a big threat, I’m not sure whether our cultures movement to get rid of cash or technology is the bigger threat but I’m more wary of both more than the spread of 6/5 blackjack, although I think it’s way overblown now and just about every claim of FRS issues I ve heard in casinos to date has simpler, more likely explanations. Regarding the cash, there’s at least one casino in America that has a debit card machine at every damn table, dealer hands it to the player, it prints out a slot ticket for whatever amount, which the dealer takes and exchanges for chips. It was just for debit cards not credit at the time I saw it.

An old article, but thought provoking.
