Neat. Reminds me of the hidden shoe computers developed by Claude Shannon and Ed Thorp in 1960 for cheating at roulette.

J. Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard from UC Santa Cruz also developed one in the late 70s as part of a group called The Eudaemons.

History Channel had a great series called Breaking Vegas and one episode featured Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard's roulette shoe computer:

I've also read anecdotes of shoe computers for poker, IIRC.

Worth mentioning the book, entitled "The Eudaemonic Pie: The Bizarre True Story of How a Band of Physicists and Computer Wizards Took On Las Vegas".
