Casino Industry
Financial losses due to gaming cheaters, advantage players, team
organizations, thieves and former employees top the list of vital
concerns for Casino Managers. Therefore, catching these people
before they walk out the door is paramount. Casinos spare no
expense in protecting their guests, their employees, and, most
important their cash flow.
A new 110,000-square-foot casino in Las Vegas today will spend at
least $10 million on security and surveillance technology alone. That
figure does not include the salaries and equipment that will be
invested for a full-time security staff of more than 200.
It seems unreasonable that Casinos are spending such exorbitant sums
of money on security, yet still relying on security personnel to
manually compare patrons against photographs of past criminal
perpetrators.
ALIVE's Facial Recognition solution allows casinos to perform the same
security tasks and measures, only better. For example:
Upon catching a gaming cheater, the Casino can register that
person in the Facial Recognition System. If they are picked up
at a later date, they will automatically identified and security
will be notified.
Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition can layer in on top of your current access
control system. Adding the ALIVE solution increases your security of
proximity or swipe card access control by 100%
Restrict access to cash rooms, counting rooms, computer server
rooms and executive offices with the only access system offering
Multi-Dimensional Facial Recognition event log with time/date stamp,
zone and time control, location of the entrance and a picture
of the person at the actual time of entrance.
When the system is not being utilized for identification or
access control purposes, it can also act as a surveillance camera
with DVR capabilities
Utilizing ALIVE's Secure Access Solution for Time and Attendance
means that only the employee given access at a particular time
gets in. In addition, no one can "buddy punch" for anyone else,
and if someone steals their access card, they cannot use it.
Single system covers 200 access
points and up to 20,000 users
Security reasons apart, preventing lawsuits like a
recent $1-million lawsuit against the Ontario Lottery and
Gaming Corp. for failing to enforce a self-exclusion program,
in spite of the plaintiff's registration on a customers
blacklist are prompting Casinos to setup facial recognition
systems in place.
What are the reasons for the explosion of interest in and
use of facial recognition? The quest for ever more
efficient and fraud proof means of authentication has been
one of the main driving forces. Another has been the drive
for better means of identifying criminals and suspects for
law enforcement reasons. The attraction of facial recognition
information is that it is practically impossible to forge and it
uniquely identifies a person.
