The play-analysis software discussed in this article has been around for a while; I wrote about it last August in the Las Vegas Advisor. “Is this a doomsday development? Not for 99% of players and maybe not for anyone. There are lots of questions. How many casinos will buy it? How many casinos will use it rigorously and properly? And most importantly, who will it really hurt? It could hurt the hardcore pros who play specifically for profit, but they can move around from place to place. There’s more danger for comp hustlers who’ve built up their comp profiles at a few specific casinos. If their cover is suddenly blown, like the pros, the hustlers will have to move on to other targets. These two groups comprise the highly skilled players, of which there aren’t many. The fact is, most don’t play as well as they think they do, so an analysis won’t affect them.” Most of these views are shared by this article’s writer, and I agree with him that it will take some time to see how this affects the current status quo.
