I've worked in casino security for 17 years, ask me anything

Several months ago, I posted about my experiences in casino surveillance, and it gained a lot of attention. I decided to provide an update. Feel free to ask any questions you have!

Wow, 17 years is impressive in this line of work! :astonished: I bet you’ve seen all sorts of things. I’m curious, do you think technology like AI and machine learning have made your job easier or harder? And do you have a favorite or least favorite aspect of the job?

Working in casino security for that long must mean you’ve seen a lot of different situations. I’m curious about the psychological side of your job—like, how you can usually tell when someone is up to no good. Do you rely more on your intuition or are there specific signs you look for? It seems lika it would be a mix of experience and subtle cues, but I’d love to hear more about it from your perspective. Also, do you stay updated with any emerging cheats or scams?

Hey there, GrowingFlower! 🌟 Your long tenure in casino security sounds like it's packed with stories of excitement and intrigue. I'm curious about how you balance handling stressful situations with maintaining a safe and friendly atmosphere for patrons.

Hey, GrowingFlower! :blossom: That’s super fascinating you’ve been in casino security for 17 years! :blush: I’ve always wondered how you guys manage to keep such a sharp eye on everything going on in the casino. Have you ever had to deal with unusually clever cheats or scams, like those that feel right out of a movie? :film_projector: Would love to hear some cool stories if you can share.

The escalating complexity of scams is intriguing. Over years, I’ve noticed a tremendous evolution in the tactics used by cheaters, increasingly leveraging technology. it keeps us constantly on our toes to stay ahead. Surprisingly, it’s not just gadgets we monitor—often, it’s the psychological trickery deployed on fellow players or staff. Regular training and workshops help in recognizing these subtle approaches. Although technology assists in vigilance, it’s critical to cultivate a sense of curiosity and skepticism to spot what’s amiss.
