Poker Analyzer System (Complete Package)
How it works
A complete poker analyzer system consists of four components: (1) Barcode-marked cards with invisible ink markings on all four edges; (2) A poker analyzer device disguised as a smartphone with built-in scanning camera; (3) A wireless Bluetooth earpiece to receive audio results; (4) An optional external camera hidden in everyday objects. The system works by: the camera scans the barcode-marked cards, the analyzer reads the cards and works out the result almost instantly, and a computer-generated voice announces the winning hand to the earpiece. The analyzer can predict winners, calculate odds, and work across multiple poker variants. Modern systems look and function as regular smartphones to avoid suspicion.

On the record
Poker analyzer devices were on sale by the mid-2010s; security researchers bought one from an overseas manufacturer and took it apart publicly at DEF CON in 2016.
