As I predicted, Trump Entertainment Resorts (NASDAQ: TRMP) is filing for bankruptcy in the wake of Donald Trump's firing himself from the company's board. Did Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone have anything to do with the bankruptcy filing? I sincerely doubt it. But that doesn't mean casinos aren't worried about the iPhone showing up at their blackjack tables.
How so? In Nevada, where card counting is legal but card-counting devices are not, gambling regulators are warning casinos about a card-counting program on the iPhone and iPod Touch. The program can help its users predict their odds of winning a hand at blackjack so they can adjust their bets accordingly. In Nevada, it's legal to do what the iPhone program does, as long as you can keep it all in your head. Get a little help from Apple and you could be charged with a felony.
