Kass’ robot played home millions in poker – New Technology

The software was deemed play less poker than a man. Although it played the home million from a total of ten poker sites. Now freed the five men behind the robot from serious fraud.

In December 2014 convicted the five men for serious fraud in the District Court. Under the project name Maggie had developed and used a software who played poker against ordinary users in 10 different poker sites. All except the one at the Swedish Game is abroad. Ultimately, the aim was to get enough money to buy shares of a share robot.

– They had formed the company and had a local for the business. I was with the digital forensics at the massive crackdown to secure evidence held legally, says Thomas Winkler, who now works at the Armed Forces.

Thomas Winkler was a team from the National Criminal cybercrimes section that worked on the case . There was an extensive investigation.

– With 35 terabytes of data, the cyber-wise the most extensive investigation that the National Police has been involved in.

The data in the main computers that were seized were encrypted . Thomas Winkler lifted encryption in one of them. The email correspondence and other data that could then be added to the investigation revealed profits in the millions. And they had sought legal advice to see if they were doing could be illegal. Moreover, there was a power point presentation to sell the program to the people against the commission was willing to lend his name to the accounts to play.

– During my 15 years at the National Police, I have never experienced anything where you put so much energy to encrypt, says Thomas Winkler.

the conviction was appealed to the Court of Appeal which acquitted all. The Court of Appeal is based inter alia on the accused’s own data that the robot played worse than they did and they never managed to get it to take into account the psychological aspects of the game. One of them pointed out that they never managed to make programming so good that they managed to transfer all the skill they have when it comes to online poker. And call it a “classical copy” of them.

Because the source code for the program is missing, it is considered difficult to comment in detail about the software’s functionality (see box). The conclusion is that it is not about a unique system for decision support but that the software is professionally built.
