My take on it is in the preamble . Device for calculating probabilities (leads one to believe they mean some sort of machine calculator/computer). In that context I would dismiss a piece of paper as not being a device.

    NRS465.075Use of device for calculating probabilities.
  It is unlawful for any person at a licensed gaming
  establishment to use, or possess with the intent to use,
  any device to assist:
  1.In projecting the outcome of the game;
  2.In keeping track of the cards played;
  3.In analyzing the probability of the occurrence of
  an event relating to the game; or
  4.In analyzing the strategy for playing or betting to
  be used in the game, except as permitted by the commission.
  (Added to NRS by 1985, 970)

  Looking at item 4, that seems to me to include 'strategy
  cards' unless they are 'permitted by the commission'. I
  could not find the term 'device' in the definitions of the
  Nevada Statutes, so maybe a chart is not a device. I
  don't know.

  Anyone out there have an answer to this?

  Thanks.

I think you are right on this one. One example is many people use paper at the roulette tables. In some casinos they will be glad to supply you with a pad of paper at roulette.

Conversely, you take a piece of paper to a BJ table and see how quickly they ask you to stop of take the paper away.

I think they interpret the law as they see fit at the time and table, or until someone makes a big stink.... that's about when some security guard with a neck bigger than my stomach shows up. <G>
