Whenever there is controversy regarding an iPhone app, it’s usually Apple who has the problem. In this case it’s Vegas who has a bone to pick with an iPhone app. Nevada gaming officials aren’t happy about a card counting app for the iPhone and iPod touch. Obviously it gives Blackjack players quite an advantage.

In fact using any device to count cards is considered a felony under Nevada laws. Good thing for cheaters that the app has a “stealth mode,” which makes it harder to spot unless you’re really looking for it. Individual casinos have their own policies on cellphones, so you better check first and make sure you know the rules, unless you plan on an extended vacation.

Wynn Las Vegas has sold this one of a kind watch by Girard-Perregaux, one of the oldest and most respected Swiss watch manufacturers in the world. The price? $625,000. The slot machine function is fully functional and fully mechanical. It’s activated by a lever arm on the side. The watch is known as the Vintage 1945 Jackpot Tourbillon. Yes, that’s a ton of money, but they don’t call it gambling for nothing.

This was no easy watch to make. It took nearly three-and-a-half years to develop from concept to production. In all, there are 501 pieces in the watch. Don’t be sad that you missed your chance at this beautiful watch though, the company plans to make 40 similar watches.
