I fully agree that actual use of any electronic device, within the
gaming area of a Nevada casino, would place one on legally-shaky
grounds. A couple of additional points, however:
A. The actual Nevada Law (465.075, text attached) is rather loosely
drafted. It is "far from clear" whether mere possession of a laptop,
with frugal vp/similar installed, in the lobby of a hotel/casino
while checking in, would constitute grounds for prosecution.
B. I am not aware of any other state having enacted any similar law.
Text of 465.075 . .
NRS 465.075 Use 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,
Êexcept as permitted by the Commission.

It is usually okay to bring strategy charts on paper or a laminated
card
into a casino. Note that many casinos sell such charts for 21 and
some sell
them for video poker too.
