JAA phone and Hybrid users: Phone encryption

Below is an explanation on how to encrypt and lock the phones themselves. This is so if the wrong people get your phones, they will be useless to them. You should always encrypt the phones whether are using the JAA phone system, or the Hybrid. We never break laws, so the encryption is not about avoiding prosecution. Mainly we don’t want casinos to access to anything. Keep in mind many countries have laws that can force you to provide your decryption password if you have broken laws.

 

If you do the encyption properly, it will be almost impossible for anyone to unlock and decrypt your phones. And you can lock them with a press of a button.

 

How to Encrypt Phones

 

The process is different for every phone, but here’s the process for most Android phones:

 

1. Fully charge the phone and leave it on charge

 

2. Set a lock screen password. It should be easy to remember, but impossible to guess. Do not lose or forget it or your phone will be useless.

 

3. Go to "Settings" > "More" > "Security" and select "Encrypt device". The encryption will take aboout 15 minutes to complete.

 

When it’s complete, make sure that when you press the power button, the phone will lock and require your password. Now whenever you want, you can press the button to lock your phone and it will be virtually impossible for anyone to see what’s on your phone.

Hybrid smaller cam mod

The smaller cam mod is now complete and working flawlessly. The updated software is available on request. Basically the new capabilities are:

 

1. Very small camera which can be hidden virtually anywhere

 

2. Multiple cameras can be used by the same player: If ever needed, multiple cameras can be worn by the player and instantly switched without the player needing to do anything. This isn’t particularly new though because previously we could use multiple cameras by using multiple players or phones. But this mod allows multiple cameras for a single player with a single phone.

General Update

I’m back but have some unexpected work that will keep me busy for the next day or so. I will be up to date on emails by the end of the week, but I wont be able to do shipping until next week. I’m still trying to find a new programmer for small mods to the phone system. The new programmer I had ready just wasted my time.

Phone system update

I’m looking for new programmers to modify the phone so predictions are announced without the delay between numbers. Also for the addition of a few features. I’ve decided not to wait further for the original programmer, although later we may still need him to do the more complex additions. I don’t know more for now. Finding suitable programmers is not a simple task.

Hybrid small camera mod

There are still more problems with ths mod, and after problems with yet another new programmer, the original programmer has agreed to complete it and fix issues. There is nothing major that is needed, but finding the right programmer for this work is not so easy. With the original programmer, there wont be further problems. I expect it wont take long for him to be finished.

Hybrid camera settings

I’ve found a solution where the camera settings such as light exposure can be set remotely by an operator. So the person wearing the camera doesn’t need to know anything about light exposure anymore. This greatly reduces the learning curve for new players. In fact the operator could do just about everything and all the players need to do is bet. I’ll write instructions for this soon.

Hybrid training

If you are training for the Hybrid, consider the following stages of training:

 

STAGE 1. The first training session is just connecting and disconnecting to the Hybrid server. Eventually this all becomes second nature to you, and really it’s just clicking a button. But you’ll need to learn the finer points of how to troubleshoot if there is a connection problem.

 

STAGE 2. For the second training session, you will need to set up a TV screen or computer monitor with video of a wheel. But for it to be realistic, the size of the wheel on the screen must be life-size which is 80cm wide. For this purpose, I have a video you can download or view on Youtube (ask me for the address). You can play the video on your home TV if it has Youtube. Otherwise it needs to be on a PC monitor, but then you probably wont have a 80cm wide wheel on the screen. If you can only play Youtube on a pc screen, then you just need to stand closer to the wheel with the camera, which is basically the same effect as having a life-size wheel.

 

In this stage, you will be testing with the camera and all equipment, as if you were actually in the casino. So you will not be able to look at the phone’s screen, and will need to follow audio instructions. You will learn things that you never thought of, so expect to fumble and make mistakes. It’s normal while you’re learning. But the idea is learn how to use everything perfectly before you enter the casino. We’ll run through around 30 minutes of practise spins, and cover various situations like if you had to leave the table and return later in a different position at the betting table.

 

STAGE 3. The third training session will be you in an actual casino. You will have mastered everything on the tv set with recorded spins. The main thing left to learn is about avoiding detection. Do not expect miracles and massive profits the first time you play. You probably wont profit at all to begin because your focus will be just getting a feel for how to use the equipment in real casino conditions. In this stage, expect you will only learn more. It may take a few trips to the casino just for you to be comfortable ad skilled with everything. So be patient and understand you will be learning new things. After you are comfortable with real casino application, we’ll move onto real use for profit.

 

Also I’m finding a lot of new players haven’t fully read the instructions before the training. I ask that players do thoroughly read the instructions, multiple times, before we even have the first training session. It may be more convenient for players if I explain everything as if players knew nothing, but it means things that should take seconds will take much longer. I need to carefully manage my time across multiple teams and new players, so please prepare yourself by throughly reading the instructions first. Realistically some of it wont be clear until you have practical experience, but if you carefully read everything at least three times, you’ll find yourself well prepared for training. I don’t mean just browse the instructions – I mean carefully read each part and understand it.
