In Nevada, the Nevada Gaming Control Board has licensing authority for all gaming operations. This explains why there are still a number of casinos recording their video on VCRs in this day and age. Not every one, mind you, but many 'suits' would prefer to deploy the minimum surveillance necessary to meet regulatory needs. Corporate-owned casinos are notoriously budget concious when it comes to any expenditure that doesn't contribute directly to income. I was out of the loop for a while.Ĭasinos' camera coverage depends on regulatory requirements, budgets and the perceived value of video surveillance by owners and/or management.
