[00:57] >> When most people think of the eye in the sky, they imagine a high-tech Impossible [music] or something. While the technology in real life is cutting edge, there's no doubt about it, the surveillance room is likely more humble
[01:10] Casino surveillance rooms, they are fairly small, not a sprawling full floor command center. You usually find about 15 people [music] max, and the entire surveillance techs rotate between [music] stations, and the cameras run 24
[01:25] hours a day. On the floor and throughout the casino, there could be over 3,000 the casino's size. The surveillance rooms, they have power backup for their power backup, so nothing short of a nuclear armageddon could shut it down.
[01:38] are fixed in [music] one direction, but most are PTZ cameras, which stands for pan, tilt, and zoom. There are cameras fixed like a hawk on every game, but one game is watched more closely [music] than the rest. Nope, it's not roulette.
[01:52] It's craps. That's because the natural chaos of the game creates more It kind of makes me wonder what the cameras would see if they zoomed in on the Ninja community. Conversations get pretty wild over there. If you haven't
[02:04] joined yet, you have to. The tips [music] are unlike anywhere else on the internet. The link is in the description and you can join for free. So, the PTZ cameras I mentioned, they are incredibly powerful and they don't stop within the
[02:16] casino or hotel. They're installed in the parking lot, too, and their zoom can follow your car for a distance [music] on the freeway. So, next time anything [clears throat] embarrassing in your car until you're a ways away. You
[02:29] That's what's in the surveillance room, but who's working there? Interestingly, casino surveillance staff are often former dealers and former casino cheaters. They know firsthand how the card counting works and they can easily
[02:43] table, for instance. But, if you ever choose to become a casino surveillance tech, don't do it in a casino you also like to gamble at. When a tech quits casino floor for at least [music] 6 months. This is to prevent taking
[02:56] advantage of any vulnerabilities that you learned while on the job. Now, you might be imagining the surveillance room as a hotspot for action with former Ben calling security to remove advantage players left and right. But, the reality
[03:10] is far less exciting, [music] even banal, if I'm being honest. The biggest gotchas surveillance deals with, they aren't genius cheaters or potential heist, but rather rowdy behavior from drunk guests. As you can imagine,
[03:23] patrons who receive endless free drinks in Vegas, they can be a handful. to catch a fight, altercation, or theft between patrons before it gets out winners to the cash desk and they rewind the tapes to validate your win. And
[03:37] quote-unquote action. And while it [music] seems pretty invasive, I'd fraud than to be the one committing it, like the countless scam casinos that exist [music] online. Yep, because unlike casinos, they may not have CCTV
[03:51] cameras, but some of them, the unregulated ones, they do scam their players with rigged games. There are countless ways that online casinos can their players lose more than what the math of the game should let happen. If
[04:05] [music] when playing online, always stick to fully licensed online casinos. In the description of this video, you can check our always updated list of Although it's not the norm at land casinos, cheating, [music] stealing, and
[04:19] collusion, they do happen, and that's where additional technology comes into play. [music] You already know about the PTZ cameras, which they can zoom as far as the freeway outside the parking lot. Just imagine how closely they can zoom
[04:31] into your hands if they wanted to. But casino surveillance rooms, they also have audio sensors to pick up on any shady conversations. AI video analytics and facial recognition. Yep, that is no [music] joke. In many modern casinos,
[04:44] snapshot of your face when you walk [music] through the door and you sit automatically runs through a database, which will alert their surveillance tech there. And just who isn't supposed to be there? Anyone who was previously banned
[04:57] from that casino or any other in the database. If you put yourself on a self-exclusion list, [music] or since most casinos partner with local law enforcement, if you're wanted for another crime, they're going to get you.
[05:09] mentioning that no legal casino is going to put a camera in your hotel room across the board, so no worries there. Finally, this may or may not be true, but we heard rumors of some casinos nowadays using crazy bond-like devices
[05:24] >> [music] >> Yeah, we really saw that somewhere. mistakes [music] on its own. It uses snap vision tools to read every card, confirm the winning hand, check the rules, and verify the
[05:39] payout. Then the software reviews the gameplay to build stats that help the speculation, but we wouldn't be surprised to learn that that's true. were a fly on the wall of the casino surveillance room, you'd likely see
[05:52] around 15 people in a room full of monitors and an occasional ultra zoom detail of the craps table, casino surveillance technology is developing at a rapid rate. They already use facial recognition and sooner than you know it,
[06:06] fingerprints when you touch a card. I mean, who knows? So, remember the next too comfortable. Someone's always land casino kind of freaks you out, then you could always play online. Just make
