Video Slot Machine Cheating Device
Hi all, first post here and I want to make sure my post stays within the guidelines of the forum rules, but my post doesn't fall in line, someone please let me know.
Basically it boils down to a question regarding using a phone utility app to play the slots. Is this considered to be a cheating device, although it does not interfere with the actual slot machine itself?

Cheating in casinos refers to actions by the player or the house which are prohibited by regional gambling control authorities. This may involve using suspect apparatus, interfering with apparatus, chip fraud or misrepresenting games. The formally prescribed sanctions for cheating depend on the circumstances and gravity of the cheating and the jurisdiction in which the casino operates. In Nevada, for a player to cheat in a casino is a felony under Nevada law. In most other jurisdictions, specific statutes do not exist, and alleged instances of cheating are resolved by the gambling authority who may have more or less authority to enforce its verdict.

Note the part in bold, that is why I'm not sure. My thoughts are if I am using an app on my phone, that does not interfere with the slot machine and how it works in any way, then it is not cheating, and therefore would be allowed.
