Everyone wants an edge when they hit the tables at the casino<\/a>. Whether you are online or offline, playing in Las Vegas, or sat at home in front of the television, there are tools and gadgets that can improve your mood, atmosphere, concentration, and technique.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We\u2019ve scoured the Internet, quizzed a few pros, and have found some of the latest technology; fresh from CES 2020 in Las Vegas: the annual global stage for innovation, produced by the Consumer Technology Association. From robotic dogs and interactive clothing, to eye-wateringly expensive wristwatches and the Babel Fish, here is our handy guide to the top ten \u2018must have\u2019 casino gadgets. In no particular order:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you take your table action seriously, you already know the value of a good night\u2019s sleep. If you\u2019re playing the perfect<\/a> blackjack<\/a> game or trying to spot that Poker<\/a> players tell, you need your wits about you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Dodow is an innovative night light that helps insomniacs enter the land of Nod by projecting a slowly pulsing blue light on the ceiling. Breathe along with the light and your days of counting sheep are over.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Doze Off with the Dodow <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although a Chipolo might sound like a Mexican betting chip, or a dried red chilli, it is \u2013 in fact \u2013 a very clever gadget that stops you losing the things you love. Chipolo started with a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 and is now available in more than 200 countries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s basically a trackable chip or card shaped object that you can slip inside your wallet or attach to a key fob. Lost your phone or wallet at the casino? Chipolo will reunite you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wandering around a casino floor, carrying a laptop, will definitely raise eyebrows in Las Vegas. Fortunately, the smart watch has come a long way in recent years; the design, function, and battery-life have all improved making the wrist-borne computer a reality. Need to check those Premier League betting odds in the middle of a winning craps run? Now you can. There are plenty of contenders to choose from.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first headphones were invented more than 100 years ago. Since then, they have got smaller, more accurate, and now: the wires have disappeared. At the CES 2020, earbud manufacturers Jabra showcased their new award-winning Elite Active 75 wireless earbuds. Waterproof, wireless, and with a 7.5 hour battery life, these $200 cans are in a class of their own (and sure to help you stay focussed during that long session at the Poker table!). Also putting in an impressive display was Apple, with its constantly evolving AirPods Pro. Aural delights all round.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019re at the casino. It\u2019s late. The chips are down. The Roulette wheel is spinning. The last thing you need to worry about is your home security. In these online times, people forget that those selfies from the casino, tell the world you are not at home.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Arlo Ultra is the latest addition to the Arlo range of security cameras. It streams and records in high definition 4K and features motion tracking, colour night vision, automatic zooming, a spotlight, siren, a 180-degree field of vision, and one-click 999 connectivity. Impressive (unless you\u2019re a burglar!).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For the at-home sommelier who enjoys a perfectly decanted Chateauneuf du Pape, as he or she gets set for an evening at the baccarat<\/a> table, we have \u2013 perhaps \u2013 the craziest new gadget to hit the foodie fad market.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The iFavine<\/a> iSommelier Pro instantly oxygenates wine; a process that normally takes several hours. The device is connected to an app which can advise on the perfect decantation of your wine. At a cost of nearly \u00a32,000, it\u2019s probably not an essential gadget, if your idea of a nice red is one that costs more than a tenner from the garage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019ll need some nibbles to go with that wine and start-up Manna has the answer. The Irish drone business has just signed a deal with a 5G company to deliver food to your home via drone. Not strictly a gadget but\u2026 Manna from Heaven that looks suspiciously like a bucket of fried chicken? Yes, please\u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You\u2019ve had your perfectly decanted wine. Dinner by drone was delicious. Now, it\u2019s time for coffee. It can be easy to lose track of time, if you are enjoying a session on the online slots<\/a>. You grab your coffee and its stone cold. Not any more. The Ember<\/a> Mug will maintain the temperature of your coffee for up to 1.5 hours. It also alerts you when your coffee has cooled and reached the perfect temperature to drink.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n When items listed in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy become reality, you know the future has arrived. The Pocketalk is a two-way voice interpreter that works in more than 130 countries and speaks 74 languages. Fancy swapping the casinos of Las Vegas for Macau this year? Now you can.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n1. Dodow \u2013 Sleep Perchance to Play<\/h2>\n
