Unknown which year but maybe Eighties gave us the players with an MIT professor and, I guess, his graduate students who worked out a system for Blackjack which was unbeatable ... depending on whether you consider the law as only an advisory. They made some big bucks and came to the inevitable high drama which ended it.
Note: there was a movie about them and Kevin Spacey played the professor so that may give you some idea of what to expect. (WIKI: 21 (2008 film))
But ... it's not MIT and instead it's the University of Alberta this time since their 'droid beats the best human players of Texas Hold 'Em which has been the rage with young gamblers for years. (RT: Poker-playing AI program first to beat pros at no-limit Texas hold 'em)

A team of computing scientists from the University of Alberta's Computer Poker Research Group is once again capturing the world's collective fascination with artificial intelligence. In a historic result for the flourishing AI research community, the team -- which includes researchers from Charles University in Prague and Czech Technical University -- has developed an AI system called DeepStack that defeated professional poker players in December 2016. The landmark findings have just been published in Science.

Ed: what's up with Dennis Miller in the back?
Maybe he's trying to get in on the action.
Ed: all they need is an earpiece for the human who sits at the table and they will make billions!
No chance. Any kind of earpiece wouldn't even get through the doors of the casino. They probably do more electronic scanning than is required for flight on a commercial aircraft.
Ed: ok, so implant the chip to make scanning ineffective. DARPA is already working with technology for implantation of devices for a human / computer interface.
That's when you hit the stage with a walking, talking cyborg since the human is operating with the extended intelligence, albeit indirectly, of the connection from the implanted circuitry. Meanwhile, the science of implanted computing technology is getting radically sophisticated in terms of understanding thought so the communication with the external robo brainiac will likely be more than indirect before too much longer.
Ed: transmitting inside the casino is likely impossible, tho. The electronic noise in there from all the devices is one aspect and there may well be jamming equipment in effect as well.
You underestimate science, Old Cranky Pessimist. You also probably never thought a computer could out-bluff a human.

I think once you introduce the human "tells", the computer program will lose it analytical and computational advantage
This can be shown by the number of online players that are very successful until they play in person
Apparently the game is on so you may well get an answer to that. Maybe I should have picked up the link but I saw again today in which researchers achieve astounding of thought via a computer interface. Someone seriously needs to bring in the ethics cops as those whackos could be building a cyborg like that any time now.
