Yes, with this technique, a players card is used to deliver a transparent laminate that has the desired mag stripe info on it into the card receptacle. The card (in this role, merely a delivery vessel) is then removed, but the laminate, which cannot be seen, stays and accumulates points for the beneficiary. I suspect this is one of the many reasons smart phones are being pushed as a replacement for cards (kind of like how driverless cars are being pushed [to the point of covering up all the accidents and fatalities these things cause] so that they can shut off a person's car that they don't like for whatever reason rather than having to chase the person down in a dangerous car chase or how smart electronic home utility monitors are being pushed so that they can shut off the power for people who don't pay their utility bills at the push of a button from headquarters rather than having to send out a meter man [who may be putting his life at risk] to shut it off physically).Originally Posted by Seedvalue
The person who was doing this was banned from all the casinos in the northern part of a certain state (and not necessarily for ghost-carding). One day though (I had the feeling our paths would cross again at some point), I ran into him again though at a casino he had been kicked out of. He was wearing a giant sombrero-hat, shades, and sporting a Grizzly Adams beard and a hippy hair-do. However I made him in about 3 seconds. I usually don't forget people that clever and that evil (ASFAIK). At a bank of Regals: "You guys are still working this place after all these years ?" "Can I borrow a twenty ?" And off he went (without a twenty). And I haven't seen him since.
