Bally’s was experimenting with facial recognition back in 1994 but at the time the cameras couldn’t pick up enough detail without being too obtrusive.

Other technology might not be visible but is changing the way casinos operate to make processes run smoother for employees and players. Camera technology is also being used online to change the player’s experience. There are also many other uses for technology and cameras in traditional land-based establishments.
