Cantor changes gambling

My latest Vegas Seven column is up, about Cantor Gaming’s eDeck:

Gambling has been evolving since our ancestors started filing down animal bones, eventually ending up with cubical ivory dice. The invention of block printing helped to popularize playing cards. In the 19th century, the telegraph led to the first remote gambling: off-track wagering on horse races. Slot machines have incorporated a variety of technological advances to increase their appeal.It continues to evolve as I type.By applying knowledge gained from securities trading to mobile technology, Cantor Gaming is changing the way people gamble.

I could have written much more about eDeck, and I’m probably going to do a podcast interview or two with some of the people behind it, since it really does have the potential to change how people gamble. There’s a lot of tech stuff that didn’t make it into the column but was really interesting.
