Facial Recognition / Black Book Integration
How it works
Advanced facial recognition systems integrated with casino databases of known cheats, advantage players, self-excluded individuals, and persons of interest. Cameras at entrances, elevators, and gaming areas capture faces and compare them against databases in real time. Matches trigger alerts to security. The Nevada “Black Book” (List of Excluded Persons) and Griffin Book (historically) provided reference data.
On the record
Dennis Nikrasch, a notorious slot cheat who stole an estimated $16 million over 22 years, was added to the Black Book in 2004. Modern facial recognition would have flagged him upon entry if he attempted return.
