Facial Recognition System

[Frank Galvin]

When you're sitting at the table they can get a high resolution picture of your face. The old advice re: "Don't go to the cage to cash out because they can get a good picture of your face" is antiquated. That ship sailed once you've been under surveillance at the table.

As for matching up your face on a subsequent visit, do you have an iPhone 10? Then you know how easy it is for them. Facial recognition has advanced greatly. If a casino has procedures in place to use FR against suspected APs, you won't be able to play there long.

Does this render the decision to play rated/unrated irrelevant.

Once they have your data via frs, their computers should be able to identify you in the parking lot, the casino entrance, or at the least, when you sit down at a slot machine or table game.

I still think it's best to play unrated. I should have added to my post above that just because the FR technology is available, it doesn't mean that all casinos have it or use it. And even the ones that do use it may not use it consistently and effectively. There are still people involved in the process. (You know the saying - good help is hard to find.) But the ones that do use it consistently and effectively (e.g., MGM stores in LV) you won't last long at. Might as well just give them your players card.

I don't mind if only the BP's face being recorded.
However, if MGM considers the BP suspicious, would they record every face near the blackjack table? So when this team come back next time, MGM can identify the BP showed up at around the same time with those same random people(spotters). so they can identify a clear pattern that these players' faces always show up together.
It's not impossible with technology.
