It’s final table day at the Grosvenor Casino in Cardiff and inside, nine players are sat nervously in their seats waiting for the first hand to be dealt. Meanwhile, outside in the car park, five people sit inside a large grey truck in front of a bank of TV screens in a scene that resembles something from a NASA mission control unit.

‘Dealing,’ comes the cry from the front row as the cards skid across the felt. Within seconds they have been logged by the computer and stored on one of the screens on the second row. ‘OK, close up on seat four,’ says the director, spotting the dealt hole cards: pocket Jacks.

As the hand plays out, the guys on the second row punch in the data.
