(Newswire.net — March 7, 2017) — When it comes to the use of technology for safety reasons in modern business environments, casinos stand out as early adopters. This is quite normal since we are faced with millions of dollars that are involved. Managers need to do all that they can in order to guarantee the safety of the casino and of the players. So many pictures appear with casinos on Instagram so the number of people visiting is increasing. Because of this, security becomes highly important.

If we are to analyse what casinos do in order to be profitable, we can easily notice that most will invest heavily in safety. That is true even for the development of casino games online. While the actual games never change, the way in which they are protected and the methods used to guarantee the safety of the players will always evolve.

Usability in Other Sectors

While there are many different examples that can be offered, we can stay focused on some of the interesting technologies that are currently highly popular among land based casinos. We do this since the technology will then be adopted by different companies in other industries. For instance, NORA, a system developed to identify scams, can be used when referring to online operations for any online store.

Examples of Industry Changing Technology

Countless examples can be given but those that we will mention below have practical uses in so many different industries. That is why we should focus on them.

Facial Recognition Technology

Facial recognition (commonly referred to as FR) is not really new on the market but it did evolve to the level at which it is really accurate. This technology is going to allow security personnel to identify those individuals that created problems in the past. Obviously, when referring to the casino, the people that were caught cheating and were banned in the casino will be caught in the event that they try to use a disguise.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

RFID is basically a technology that is now included in various parts of a casino, including the casino chip. It will prevent the criminals from using other chips or trying to cash in on something that was not actually won. Such a technology can be used in so many situations. Whenever there is a possibility that someone may try to pass an item as belonging to a business. You basically use it in order to protect other gadgets or items that have value.

Angel Eye

Not many are aware of this. Angel eye is tracking software that will automatically identify invisible ink that is placed on a card. Casinos use this tech in order to track cards. Obviously, card cheating is now really hard because of the Angel Eye. In other establishments you can use the technology to track basically anything that is easy to be stolen or items that could be added to your inventory and passed as yours for a financial gain.

Conclusions

On the whole, we can say that casinos, both online and land based, are revolutionizing the industry. They are developing brand new technology on a monthly basis, which is definitely something that we have to watch.
