I’ve always had a fascination with people who claim to have devices that can cheat at roulette or empty fruit machines, eBay is crammed full of eBooks and gadgets claiming to do just that, but how many of these devices are genuine? Do any actually work? Below I’ve taken a look at some of the best gizmos available and while I don’t condone their use you have to applaud the inventory behind them.

This £1,000 gadget enables players to cheat at Roulette. The gadget consists of three parts, a clicker, a small computer and an earpiece. The clicker is used to record the speed of the rotor and ball and is small enough to be concealed in a pen, watch or shoe. The device is clicked as the two entities pass reference points to determine the deceleration speeds. This data is sent to a small computer which calculates which number the ball will land on using an algorithm and transmits this information to the earpiece. In 2004 a team using this device won £1.3 million pounds from the Ritz casino in London but were later arrested after the casino became suspicious as to how they had won nearly all their bets. The team were searched and a hidden earpiece and mobile phone concealing a small computer were found. The case went to court but they were acquitted and allowed to keep their money as the judge had ruled that they had not interfered with the game and there is currently no law that prohibits the use of such equipment in the UK and many parts of the world. There are lots of similar systems for sale but the best one I’ve seen can be purchased at http://www.predictroulette.com.

Blackjack Pro is a pocket sized device from http://www.blackjackcounter.com that allows players to discreetly and accurately count cards. To effectively count cards you need to keep track of every card that is dealt and keeping this count in your head requires a high level of concentration and skill. Blackjack Pro solves this problem by doing the work for you. Every time a card is dealt you press either the left or right button depending on the value of the card. Blackjack Pro relays this information to you through a series of silent vibrations in your pocket. Card counting isn’t illegal but if you are caught doing it you may well be asked to leave. Blackjack Pro costs $109.95 and is available to ship worldwide for an additional fee of $25.50.
Fruit machine refill keys are perfectly legal to own and are supplied with all new fruit machines. The keys are legal as they don’t alter the game or force them to pay out. Refill keys simply operate a switch that activates the relevant information displays. These displays show the machines current stats like the hopper balance, last win and error reports. By inserting the key you will instantly have the advantage of knowing exactly how much money is in the machine and how much it’s just paid out. It doesn’t matter how good you are at playing fruit machines if the money isn’t there to win. Whilst not illegal to use one of the problems is the sounding of the machines alarm when the key is inserted which could get you into trouble with the manager of the arcade. Refill keys are easy to obtain and can be bought for as little as a few pounds from eBay.
PKR Gen is a software package provided by http://www.pkrgen.com designed to provide reverse RNG card decoding for online poker which allows players to view the community cards that have been dealt before the flop is displayed. This software is legal to use and works in a variety of online poker rooms including fulltilt poker and poker stars. Essentially the software gathers data from the poker rooms and uses this information to predict future outcomes, although the website does not specifically state how. The process of reversing the RNG is done on the fly and takes less than three seconds enabling players to make informed decisions as to whether to fold or not. Another nifty feature is player tracking which stores data on every player you play against including their win/loss percentage and winnings which enables you to evaluate their playing style and much more. Prices start at $99.99 for a 6-month license going up to $299.99 for a lifetime license.
