1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:09,000
if you've ever walked into a casino it might seem like a fairly straightforward

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:11,679
operation lots and lots of flashing

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,759
lights and Candy Crush sound effects you stick a couple bucks into a slot machine

4
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:20,519
you hope it spits out thousands of dollars or you throw down some chips on

5
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:29,000
the craps table and pray that the dice stay hot simple right no as it turns out

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,400
the level of Technology you interact

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,520
with inside a game establishment is among the most

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:41,520
sophisticated anywhere and it probably shouldn't be that surprising given how

9
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:44,960
much money is constantly turning through

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,840
a casino basically the moment you set

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:52,359
foot inside it goes to work you see many

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:55,199
casinos keep databases on specific

13
00:00:52,359 --> 00:01:01,199
people card counters people who have been caught stealing or maybe even just

14
00:00:57,879 --> 00:01:03,440
that guy yes you Kevin who had too many

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,280
free cocktails and decided to use the potted plant in the corner as a urinal

16
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:13,280
and they achieved this by using biometric scanning to capture an image

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:20,240
of your face when you walk in the door to compare you against a database of

18
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:25,439
undesir but let's say you've never tried to pull off an Oceans 11 style Heist so

19
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:31,040
security leaves you alone and you make your way over to a slot machine well it

20
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:36,799
used to be that you would pull down the ARM cross your fingers and hope that

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:41,960
when the mechanical reels stopped spinning a bunch of fruit or something

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:47,360
would line up but these days the attention grabbing Graphics are just for

23
00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:54,079
show slot machines determine if you've won or lost almost immediately after you

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:57,000
press spin using a pseudo random number

25
00:01:54,079 --> 00:02:02,159
generator that Awards prizes based on pre-programmed paytables that are

26
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:08,560
spitting out numbers at a rate of hundreds per second by Design they

27
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:13,920
occasionally Award Big jackpots that allow the casino to entice others in

28
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:18,959
with dreams of striking it rich while also preventing frequent gamblers from

29
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:26,040
being able to figure out when a machine is hot to keep payouts tight this is

30
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:29,599
critical because over 2/3 of the average

31
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,239
casino revenue comes from slot machines

32
00:02:29,599 --> 00:02:36,080
so so being a Savvy Gambler then you give up on the slots and go set some

33
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:42,879
money down on the blackjack table instead where the dealer hands you a

34
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:45,319
stack of chips now these might seem like

35
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:52,480
mere pieces of plastic but the chips actually contain more

36
00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:54,720
chips RFID chips that is they contain

37
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:59,840
serial numbers that are scanned both at the tables as well as when you take them

38
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:05,319
to the cashier this prevents people from from trying to cash counterfeit chips

39
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:12,560
and also protects the casino in cases where authentic ones get stolen one Mis

40
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:16,239
creant lifted $1.5 million in chips from

41
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:19,200
the Bellagio in Las Vegas back in 2010

42
00:03:16,239 --> 00:03:24,040
so the casino simply invalidated their RFID tags so the dude ended up going to

43
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:29,920
prison for stealing what were essentially a bunch of worthless

44
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:32,400
Chuck-E-Cheese tokens I almost feel bad

45
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:38,720
for him and for yet another layer of security chips can also contain special

46
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,280
UV inlays that only show up under a

47
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:47,120
black light similar to features found in modern currency which you can learn more

48
00:03:43,239 --> 00:03:49,760
about here and chips aren't the only

49
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:55,200
little handheld items at casinos with baked in protection the playing cards

50
00:03:52,720 --> 00:04:01,120
can have barcodes printed on them with invisible ink these are scanned when the

51
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:06,560
dealer clears them off the table so the odds are that if you're trying to use

52
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:13,200
slight of hand to switch cards you're going to end up with a date with big Kim

53
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,760
but you're an honest player and besides

54
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:20,639
surely you wouldn't think of trying to cheat with all of those cameras on the

55
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:26,040
ceiling anyway and that would probably be wise although some of them are just

56
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:32,240
regular surveillance cameras others are actually connected to systems that can

57
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:35,479
recognize which cards are dealt betting

58
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:39,560
patterns and even wins and losses for

59
00:04:35,479 --> 00:04:42,440
each player at the table so because

60
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:47,919
long-term trends in casino games are rather predictable these cameras can

61
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:52,919
help casinos pick up on the abnormal patterns that occur when someone might

62
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:59,039
be counting cards trying to perform trickery with their chips or colluding

63
00:04:55,759 --> 00:05:01,960
with a dealer or another player to cheat

64
00:04:59,039 --> 00:05:06,880
now of course not all Casino technology is security related you know that

65
00:05:04,039 --> 00:05:10,320
Players Club card they give you for free that you've been inserting into slot

66
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,880
machines handing to dealers and even showing at the cocktail bar although

67
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:19,919
they track how much you're spending so they can give you comps and discounts

68
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:25,240
they also use that data to build a detailed picture of what your favorite

69
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:29,919
games are how much you've won or lost whether you're a skilled player and even

70
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:35,919
which casino restaurants you're eating at in order to offer you perks that will

71
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:39,639
lure you back to the casino and entice

72
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:42,199
you to keep gambling especially if their

73
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:47,440
algorithms think that the casino can suck lots of money out of you in the

74
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:50,639
future so if you won big on your last

75
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,560
trip to Vegas be wary of any special

76
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:58,240
offers you get that are designed to get you to hand all of that money right back

77
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:03,840
