This very small computer is about the size of a cigarette package. In this case, size does not matter. The sole purpose of this small but powerful computer is to keep track of the cards while you are playing blackjack. The computer comes equipped with 4 buttons which enpower you, the gambler, to let the computer know which cards have been played. In turn, the computer will let you know the best play to make based on the input you have provided the computer. Accurately inputting the exact cards that are played is what must be practiced until you get it exactly right.

A computer the size of a cigarette pack for counting cards was originally designed to be carried by gamblers into casinos. These gamblers have been extremely inventive when it has come to concealing this unique piece of gambling equipment. Can you imagine the reaction from casino pitbosses if, you were to sit down at a blackjack table, purchase $25 chips and place your "cigaette" package on the table. You minus your computer would be heading out the door and maybe accompanied by at least someone from the local Game Control Board. We would not want this to happen to anyone, this is why the user of the unique gambling equipment have found very interesting ways of hiding their "packages".

The computer must be "told" which cards have been played, this is accomplished by using the 4 buttons to enter the correct cards. Once the correct cards that have been played are entered, the player has an output device from the computer to let you know what the correct play is. Hiding your "package" on your body is only part of the challenge of using the gambling equipment correctly. You must also be able to activate the buttons correctly and without drawing any attention to yourself. The boot has become a very common hiding place with the operator using their toes to push the buttons. If the boot you are using appears too big, be prepared to attract the attention of casino personnel. Your reason for wearing the boots will fall on deaf ears if you have purchased $25 dollar chips. Maybe it is wiser to stick to $5 chips and don't vary your bets too much. Be warned the varying of bets during any given shoe will get you noticed very quickly by casino personnel.

In this day and age there is probably as many online blackjack players as there is at land based casinos. Now, if you were to use this powerful little computer while playing online, just imagine the possiblities.
