Cameras cover 98% of their floor space, casinos are designed to force guests through “choke points” so surveillance equipment can get a good look at everyone’s face.

They also use their fancy system to catch people who count cards, which isn’t technically “cheating,” but try telling that to the casino jerks as they’re dragging you into the boiler room.
