'Laser scam' gamblers to keep ?1m
The trio - a Hungarian woman and two Serbian men - were arrested in March but police have apparently decided that they did not break the law.
A laser scanner linked to a computer was allegedly used to gauge numbers likely to come up on the roulette wheel.
But police said the case had now been closed, with no charges brought.
Simson Garfinkel's Database Nation describes a similar incident when a gambler observed slot machines to predict the randomness generated by machines and then played and won a sizeable sum but he was not allowed to keep the money.

Hi all!
Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth. for attention thank you
