Publius Syrus famously said, "The better the gambler, the worse the man." Casino owners across the globe take this to heart. To protect their establishments and maintain fairness, they've embraced advanced surveillance camera systems alongside security personnel.
Casinos are synonymous with high stakes, where fortunes can change in seconds. This financial dynamic raises the potential for deceit, prompting casino managers to implement robust security measures. Surveillance cameras have become essential in spotting and deterring cheating, as they tirelessly monitor every movement on the gaming floor.
Deterring Deception
Winning can be intoxicating, leading some players to resort to unethical practices. Cheating methods range from palming chips and switching cards to employing electronic gadgets. A notable case occurred in 1998, when Dennis McAndrew and his associates used devices to manipulate slot machines, illegally securing nearly $17 million before being caught.
Enhanced Security Post-McAndrew
Following the McAndrew scam, casinos tightened security protocols and installed cutting-edge surveillance camera systems. These cameras now observe not only gaming tables but also escalators, elevators, stores, and hallways. Except for restrooms, every casino area is under watchful eyes. Additionally, cameras monitor entrance and exit points.
Many casinos now integrate asset tracking into their camera systems. Wireless motion sensors on gaming machines trigger alarms if tampered with.
Regulatory Standards
Gaming commissions recognize the value of integrating surveillance into risk management strategies. The federal Minimum Internal Control Standards (MICS) require surveillance cameras to record at 20 frames per second with high clarity.
However, the admissibility of surveillance footage in court remains uncertain. While experts believe DVR evidence may be acceptable, this has yet to be definitively tested in a legal case.
Despite uncertainties, gaming commissions continue to advocate for robust surveillance systems. No matter how advanced these systems are, or how diligently personnel monitor activities, attempts to cheat persist. Usually, cheaters are caught, and occasionally they succeed momentarily. With surveillance cameras in place, catching con artists is inevitable; it’s simply a matter of time.
