Casino operators, working hard to stay a step ahead of gambling's legion of aspiring and active cheaters, have targeted Google Glasses as
verboten in their establishments. The latest casino oasis to ban the trend-setting specs is Atlantic City.
According to a story that originally appeared in The Press of Atlantic City and picked up by siliconvalley.com, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement invoked the ban earlier this week. Why it took this collection of Captain Reynauds until now to discover Google Glasses' potential for unfair gambling advantage is something of a mystery.
Maybe someone put in a timely phone call to the faceless Trenton bureaucrats who represent New Jersey taxpayers. "'Even if (Google Glasses) had not been used for cheating," Gaming Enforcement Division director David Rebuck wrote in a memo to AC casinos, "...'their presence at a gaming table would lead to the perception that something untoward could be occurring, thereby undermining public confidence in the integrity of gaming."
Something "untoward"? In an Atlantic City casino? Perish the thought!
