Blackjack is a household game that brings families together after dinner. Join around the coffee table and blackjack offers hours of fun for the whole family, from little kids, to big kids, and everyone in between. My grandmother taught me how to play blackjack when I was only five years old, and I am still a force to reckoned with. Any group of people can get together and start up a game and have something in common. There does not have to be money and betting involved to make it fun. Now there is new twist that is causing an uproar all across the globe.

Travis Yates a casino geek from Australia is the one to thank for all the commotion. He is the sole creator of a new software available that counts cards when playing blackjack. It has been reported on CNN that sales of this software has sky rocketed. You can get several variations of the software on an iPhone, which makes it a portable card counting device. Some might say this is good and some would say this is very bad.

Casinos are on pins and needles. The Nevada Gaming Control Board has even warned Las Vegas casinos about the software. The software is totally untraceable by web casinos, so for those cheaters out there it may give them an advantage.

But Travis still holds firm that he created the software for individuals who play at home, so they could beat their friends. It just teaches you to pay attention, and it counts the cards for you. Randall Sayre a member of the Nevada Gaming Board says its very accurate and easy to count cards. So it is up to you, weather you use this for good reasons, to beat your friends in the basement, or you use it in a casino, you can purchase it online for only £5.
