The executives were determined not to be hacked again. The casino lost millions of dollars before the gang were finally caught. The images, transmitted to an accomplice outside in the casino parking lot, were played back in slow motion to figure out the sequence of cards in the deck, which was then communicated back to the gamblers inside. The gang used a hidden video camera to record the workings of the card shuffler through a glass window. However, the executives had recently discovered that one of their machines had been hacked by a gang of hustlers. The rental fees brought in millions of dollars each year, and the company was listed on the New Stock Exchange. Thousands of their mechanical shufflers were in operation in Las Vegas and around the world.
Their company manufactured precision card-shuffling machines for casinos.
