Online Poker Bots Becoming Problematic? 613
scumbucket writes "MSNBC has a story about how poker bots have started to appear on internet gambling sites and the implications. It also talks about how a 'master level' poker-playing bot already exists. Could this proliferation of poker-playing bots undermine the almost $1 billion online gambling industry?"

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have little sympathy for the house when someone figures out a way to beat them.

I wouldn't be surprised at this at all - I've even heard rumors of people playing online chess while using Chessmaster to tell them their moves.
It was, um, a friend of mine...

It seems that they are obviosly talking about the two legged, two armed kind. Hahaha, that is priceless to think that our there in someone's basement is a "sophisticated robot" capable of playing online poker. I think I'm going to start building one in my garage.

I'm the head webmaster and programmer for a popular casino based in the Cayman Islands (although I reside in the US). We use VBScript for all our programming and backend work. We're smart and renamed the cards, so the "ace of spades" is really "5_hearts.jpg"
No one will figure that out.

Holden: What?
Leon: What desert?
Holden: Doesn't matter what desert it is, it's completely hypothetical.
Leon: Well, how come I'd be there?
Holden: Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you just wanted to get away from it all. Anyway. You're in a desert, walking along when you look down and you see a tortoise, Leon. It's crawling toward you. Leon: What's a tortoise?
Holden: You know what a turtle is?
Leon: 'Course!
Holden: Same thing. So you reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back, Leon.
Leon: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Leon: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I'M NOT HELPING?
Holden: I mean you're not helping, Leon.
