Security Operations are Key Departments in a Gaming Operation  Security protects customers, employees and assets  Surveillance is an independent part of security effort  In most gaming jurisdictions Surveillance is responsible to someone outside the gaming entity; Usually to someone in the Corporate Organization and/or Board of Directors.

Background of the Gaming Industry and Security Operations  Gaming industry is a heavily regulated industry.  There are Internal Controls (IC’s) for most of the Casino Operations: Internal Controls are written by a State Gaming Regulatory Body. Each gaming entity within a state also develops it’s own Internal Controls.  Examples of departments which require Operational IC’s : Audit Cage – Count Rooms Casino Operations Slot Operations Security Surveillance
