Facial Recognition
Security Technology
An AI-powered video analytics technology that automatically identifies or verifies individuals by comparing facial features captured on camera against a database of known faces. In casinos, facial recognition is used to identify barred patrons, known cheaters, advantage players, self-excluded individuals, and high-value guests. When a match is detected, the system alerts surveillance operators who can verify the identification and take appropriate action.
In practice
Facial recognition accuracy depends on camera placement, lighting conditions, and database quality; some jurisdictions require explicit regulatory approval before deployment in gaming areas.
