The word Casino evokes images of flashing lights, noise and excitement. It\u2019s an adult\u2019s version of an indoor amusement park and it is a business that brings in billions of dollars annually.

These include cameras, security personnel and vaults to hold winnings. In addition, some casinos have catwalks in the ceiling above the casino floor that allow surveillance personnel to look down through one-way glass directly onto tables and slot machines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
