Users ECD Posted February 22, 2009 Users Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 MSNBC reported that sales of this phone increased 1000% as soon as casinos complained. This is yet another ploy of the casinos who are the biggest promoters of card counting. Don't forget that the "regulators" are paid out of casino taxes. In truth, anyone who needs a device to help him add 1 or subtract 1 does not belong on the same planet Vegas is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
