Part II: Casino Operations · Surveillance & Security

Table Coverage

Operations

The continuous surveillance monitoring of all active gaming tables to ensure game integrity, detect cheating, and verify compliance with dealing procedures. Table coverage cameras must capture clear, unobstructed views of the table surface, chip tray (bank), drop box, dealer’s hands, and all players’ hands and wagers. Each active table is required to have dedicated camera coverage meeting jurisdictional standards for clarity and angle.

In practice

New Jersey requires cameras covering all gaming tables whether active or inactive; Macau requires cameras positioned to ensure constant view of all table games for monitoring and jackpot payout verification.

One entry from the Casino Industry Glossary — 1,157 terms written for surveillance, compliance and operations professionals rather than for players. Definitions describe industry usage; where a term carries a regulatory meaning, verify against the instrument that governs your jurisdiction.
