Casino Security

Casino

While you’re enjoying the thrill of a casino, don’t make any assumptions about security. Most casinos spend a lot of money on security. There’s a reason why most casinos don’t have clocks. They’re a fire hazard! Instead, casinos use bright wall coverings and floor coverings to give patrons a cheering and stimulating effect. High rollers tend to spend a lot of money, so they often receive luxurious suites, free comps, and lavish personal attention.

Security starts on the casino floor, with employees monitoring both games and casino patrons. Dealers focus on their own game and can detect if anyone is cheating. Table managers and pit bosses also monitor table games, looking for patterns in betting and cheating. Each employee has a supervisor monitoring their activities. Despite the large number of employees, security remains a top priority. Casinos also invest in surveillance equipment and CCTV to monitor visitors. In some cases, these employees take part in the operation of their own establishments.

In addition to surveillance cameras, casinos also conduct surveys on customers’ preferences for gambling. One such survey conducted by Roper Reports GfK NOP included face-to-face interviews with 2,000 American adults. Another survey by the U.S. Gaming Panel included a questionnaire mailed to 100,000 adults. 57205 responded to both surveys. In 2005, Harrah’s Entertainment found that the average casino goer was a 46-year-old woman from an upper-class family. Interestingly, this was the same trend with video poker. This was particularly important since older parents tend to spend more on gambling and have more time to vacation.
