Justin Bertram, Treasure Island Casino executive, is developing a program through which adjusting any game machine in a casino depends on nothing but a click of his computer mouse.

He may adjust from the denominations required to play, to payback percentages. The change will first hit slot machines, being the most popular in Las Vegas, and responsible for $7 billion dollars in gaining a year, twice as much as table games outcomes.

By applying this computerized system, slots machines will be able to be modified not only in the chip inside, but also their appearance to players in just 20 seconds and right from the manager’s office. This technology is being tested for the next few months, both by casino operators as well as state gambling regulators, also taking into account consumer confidence testing.

But a new and different challenge appears when trying to computerize table games. Debit slips are already in use, which keep track of how much money the gambler has, substituting the coins people used to collect in a bucket. In the case of blackjack, stocking blackjack tables are being experimented.

They introduce the use of money chips which are embedded with digital tags. These can measure on what kinds of hands and how much the gambler has wagered.

Casinos are also experimenting with wireless devices through which gamblers are able to play games like Blackjack and Keno while they are sitting in any public area, such as a swimming pool or park. There is no doubt a technological revolution in gambling is coming at fast pace.
