100 % illegal

BeerMonster, it despends from what point of view:

From the casino's point of view, it's cheating, so they'll ban you
From the law's point of view, it's okay, and you won't go to court

ArrGee

True to a point Tripleeagle, but if the Casino can declare fraudulent behaviour against the business activities of a company (casino is a company), then a court can be brought in to reside on a legal matter. Getting chucked out is the better option, but there is still a legal issue to be taken into consideration.

Oh, just to add, I used to work for casinos as a consultant for providing software solutions, but had a fair understanding of legalities of brick-and-mortar casinos (part of the job).

But will casinos really bother to sue somebody just because he cheated once?

ArrGee

No, the casino will probably not bother to sue on the basis that the player has used a device once, but if there is an indication that a high-roller has used the device on previous occasions, then there is a possibility that court action would take place. Casinos are trying to change their image, and taking a cheater to court is part of the process. Image-wise, this looks much better than a player being dragged into a dark alley by the bouncers and given a good kicking.

True...but what if you do it in different casinos each time? Would that minimize risks?

ArrGee

Yes, it would certainly minimize risk by doing so, but it's very easy to get carried away with these kind of devices and attract attention to yourself. Also, more and more casinos work within a commission, or network. If you get flagged in one casino, chances are that all other casinos within the network will be immediately notified. So it's worth checking to see if a casino is in anyway affiliated to the next one you want to play in.
