Alleged Poker Scammers Use Mini Cameras to Cheat

Professional poker player Matt Berkey suspects a new cheating scheme involving hidden cameras and earpieces in high-stakes poker games. Players allegedly use tiny cameras to capture card faces and transmit the information to an accomplice, who relays it back to the player via an earpiece. A recent case in France confirmed the use of such technology, raising concerns about its prevalence in casinos worldwide. The poker community and casinos are now considering measures like retraining dealers and banning devices on tables to combat this sophisticated form of cheating.
