Interesting. Which pins are used for data transfer? And power?
Pin 1 is +5v Pin 4 is Gnd

I have never run into a problem at any Vegas casino about shooting photos at slot machines to show jackpots. The only problem I ran into was shooting photos with patrons in view.

Red Rock has chargers for your cell phones at higher limit slots, and I was told the Caesars poker room also has chargers for phones at the table.

Is it remotely possible that someone could find a way to alter a phone to transfer data though the charging pins? I would assume not. I can't imagine a casino/games manufacturer would take that risk.But on the other hand technology+ hackers = who the hell knows.
If anything, I think you'd have to modify the cable itself, where it connects with the USB outlet. But even then -- I don't see that getting anywhere, since the pins likely only have charging power and not the ability to transfer data. Plus -- where would the data even go?

Yea, no chance that port is hooked up to anything other than 5 volts DC.

That was my thought. I am sure they are just hook to electric and go no where near the computer. I saw these in Monte Carlo near the front as we were running through the casino trying to get to a show.

Are you guys really concerned about being hacked when your cell phone is plugged into a charging station? Or was this a joke that took on a life of its own?
It is a real concern. For example, cells can be recharged via a USB cable connection to a laptop or PC, but that connection also provides a network connection between the devices. Usually you are prompted on the cell to 'trust' the other device before access to cell data is allowed. The opportunity for a hack is there. I will be looking for the power/ground pins only before using a public charging station. If 'trust' is granted the foreign device can read and delete cell data, such as photos. It's not much of a stretch to imagine hacked access could do much more without permission.
