Just got this from a magic forum online. This could be the beginning of a weird story. There are not many details here, but it sure makes one curious. |

"WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack said, "I can't reveal our specific security measures, otherwise they wouldn't be very secure. But needless to say, Harrah's has the ultimate commitment to both responsible gaming and security, and we have a state of the art surveillance system in place at all times here."
LOL. See my post in the Jack Effel thread to see why this is a joke. State of the art, but can't read a tabled hand with a camera directly above the table. Tuco. |

I know some poker players at the WSOP had large amounts of money boosted from their Hotel room safes... the story states the scheme was to steal from the poker players AWAY from the table... this could be related, I'm no techie but couldn't the electronic equipment be picking up someone's safe code?

This dude sounds really sketchy. No way they let him in on this unless he is apart of the ordeal. HANG HIM!

[/ QUOTE ] Man Tuco I read the article before I read your reply and I had the same quote copied because I wanted to respond to it. I can't find the post about the guy who had his room robbed of like 30k out of his safe and they didn't have any cameras to catch the crook... man complete opposite. The funny thing is, it's almost like these guys know they're going to get caught, I don't even know why they bother to try. I will admit though tapping into hole card cameras would be sicko |

Also, LOL, at a $5000 buy-in event being "the largest poker event in the town's history" |

Having worked as a director or tech on 60+ poker shows I can tell you that in Vegas it would be pretty tough to tap into the cameras. Prior to the event Gaming commission inspects the setup and during the event casino security places a guard in or just outside the room where the signals are recorded to make sure no one is disseminating information. Generally once a hand is dealt, no one is allowed to leave the area until the hand is finished.

If the glove don't fit, you must acquit.
