A casino is a fun and exciting place where people come to play games of chance like poker, roulette, blackjack, bingo and more. There’s a great atmosphere with flashy decor, music and food and drink options. Casinos can also be very expensive to visit and have slim odds of winning money. This is not to say you can’t have a lucky day, but it just isn’t probable.
Many casinos have well known acts or smaller groups perform for entertainment and to draw in crowds. The casinos also provide alcoholic drinks to their patrons at no cost. Casinos have to manage food, entertainment and gambling concerns all at once and that’s a huge challenge. They also have to deal with fraud issues such as counterfeiting casino chips, card counting, using stolen credit cards and ensuring that all people entering the establishment are of legal age.
Security in a casino starts on the floor where dealers are highly focused and can easily spot blatant cheating like palming or marking cards or dice. In addition to that, they are constantly checking to see that the machines are working properly and watching for patterns of behavior that could indicate someone is trying to steal money or rig the game. Each section of the casino has a manager that keeps a close eye on things. Casinos are also known for giving comps to their best customers which can include free rooms, meals, shows and limo service.
