I've seen on websites for registration and such? -- the
ones specifically to thwart bots where you input the

Don't most poker sites display cards as individual files stored on the user's computer? A bot could easily detect which file was being accessed, so it wouldn't matter how the appearance changed whenever a new version of the software was loaded. Presumably the same files would always be used.
