Game Protection

Operations

The comprehensive set of surveillance and security measures implemented to protect the integrity of casino games from cheating, collusion, advantage play, and procedural errors. Game protection encompasses surveillance monitoring of table games, dealer procedure verification, detection of known cheating techniques, identification of advantage players, and coordination with floor personnel to address threats. It is the primary mission of casino surveillance departments.
