July 28, 2013 08:43 Cantor Limits Cell Phones: Notices on remote TV screens in the Cantor sports book at the Palms warn customers that they are prohibited from "using personal communication devices (including, without limitation, cell phones) for gaming related communications." This is the first time that we've seen such a notice since the ban on cell phone use in sports books was lifted.

If the Nevada Gaming Board has no problem with cell phones, why should Cantor? Most people using a cell phone are talking or texting with friends and are not acting as runners for betting syndicates. A runner or someone who is laying off money for a bookie would only need to stand just outside the book and do his business.
