Guy finds bug in video poker game, is now charged as a federal hacking case:
Im being arrested federally for winning on a slot machine, he said. Its just like if someone taught you how to count cards, which we all know is not illegal. You know. Someone told me that there are machines that had programming that gave a player an advantage over the house. And thats all there is to it.
