Who Is Watching You in Land-Based Casinos?

It is no secret that casinos around the world use state-of-the-art technology. Cameras in particular. Eye in the sky keeps monitoring us from the very moment we enter the casino. Should you wish to know who is watching you in land-based casinos and for what purpose, continue reading this text.

The Cameras Casinos Use

Most of the cameras that casinos use are IP security cameras. The reason is very simple. These can provide much clearer picture than any other camera out there. Moreover, there are also additional features such as motion detection, email alerts, app push notifications, etc.

IP Cameras come in PTZ IP type. This means that it can rotate 360 degrees and basically replace several fixed cameras. Furthermore, there are also so-called “dome” cameras that they install to the ceiling to track both dealers and gamblers. These cameras are difficult to detect, or to tell in which direction they are recording at the particular moment.

The Premises That Cameras Cover

In short – cameras are everywhere, in accordance with gaming regulations. However, if we should pinpoint the spots that should by all means be monitored, the selection would cover cashier, entrance, tables, slots, as well as parking lots or other open areas.

As you may have noticed so far, land-based casinos monitor not just the players, but the staff as well. The reason for this is to prevent crime of any kind, be it theft, cheating, beating or sexual harassment for example.

Most of the land-based casinos monitor parking lots for additional reason – checking up on licence plates. In case the plates match the names of previously proven perpetrators, those persons would not be allowed to enter the casino.

For recording staff, casinos use the so-called “auto-tracking”. These cameras monitor each movement of the staff member and track a person wherever he or she goes.

Casinos are usually obliged to keep the recordings up to a year.

The Pictures That Cameras Take, and Info They Analyze

The cameras that land-based casinos use feature biometric facial recognition. It means that they record each face that enters the casino, and then compare it to their database. The reason for this is checking whether a person has a record of misconduct in any of the casinos.

Apart from pictures, land-based casinos keep extremely large databases filled with in-depth data. There have been rumors that after 9/11, certain authorities (but land-based casinos as well) started using a system called NORA (Non-Obvious Relationship Awareness).

Basically, this system of background check activates when a suspicion arises. In order to get additional information on a player, or circumstances surrounding the suspicious scene in a casino, the system analyzes the data. It can connect the identity of a person with all available information on that person’s previous history, possible other identities, or connections with other persons who are not considered eligible to gamble.

Safety First

Casinos, both land-based and online, take security seriously and strive for safe, ultimate gaming experience. That experience should be joyful for everyone. Some people frown upon so many cameras in public places. However, we should all keep in mind that there is a reason for monitoring of this kind. After all, when we take a brake from our hectic lives, we like to be careless and have fun. Why not let someone else take care of our safety every now and then?

Any interesting experience with security measures in land-based casinos on your part?

Also, each number bears certain energy, according to numerologists. Therefore, a bit of knowledge on the meaning of numbers is always welcome. Before you start betting, consider the aspects of the unique number eleven.

Symbolism of Unique Number 11

Among numerologists, the number eleven is the Master Number. This means that it is a double-digit number coming from a single root number. Eleven is the first number after 10, which symbolizes completeness. When we look at it that way, then 11 is excessive. Sometimes, people perceive it as a symbol of exaggeration and extravagance.

As it is the combination of two equal numbers, the number eleven symbolizes dynamics. Furthermore, it also requires interaction. There must be an individual and his counterpart. Moreover, as each interaction delivers results, eleven is often associated with dynamics and teaching through struggle.

Some of the terms that numerologists relate to eleven are: intuition, spirituality, teaching, charisma, dynamism. Possibly, its power hides in the fact that is the first among the Master Numbers (11,22,33). Furthermore, number eleven is also the root of all other Master Numbers.

Individuals who were born in the sign of eleven are powerful people. They often have strong will that they can control and focus on a certain subject. At the same time, these people are highly sensitive and spiritual.

Often, their strength is not limited only to their psychological side. Holders of eleven are usually physically strong as well.

There is one special feature that puts holders of eleven among the spiritually most awaken people among us. It is the ability to show empathy and respect for others. Considering the world we live in, this character feature will soon become scarce and in high demand.

Significant Mystery Dates Related to Unique Number Eleven

The predicted hour, according to the Mayas was 11:11. It symbolizes rebirth, the coming of the new age. The one that comes after the complete and perfect number 10.

Walmart Announced the Patents for Future Stablecoin

By Tom Wolfe News & more No Comments

Just a few days ago, the giant retail company Walmart announced the patents for future stablecoin. The planned coin will be backed by US dollars. Analysts compare Walmart’s future coin with Facebook’s Libra. They especially stress one of the main features these two coins share. Namely, the ability to operate outside of their native retail scope.

Features of Walmart’s Future Stablecoin

The advantage of any project that Walmart launches is in the fact that it has a large coverage. Walmart reportedly has 11,368 hypermarkets in 27 countries worldwide. Whatever happens in Walmart spreads across the globe.

In its patent filing, Walmart reportedly stated that the creators of their coin would be Robert Cantrell, David Nelms, John O’Brien, and Brian McHale. The abstract states the following:

“[The] method includes generating one digital currency unit by tying the one digital currency unit to a regular currency; storing information of the one digital currency unit into a block of a blockchain; buying or paying the one digital currency unit.”

As well as:

“The digital currency may be pegged to the US dollar and available for use only at selected retailers or partners. In other embodiments, the digital currency is available for use anywhere. The digital currency can provide a fee-free, or fee-minimal place to store wealth that can be spent, for example, at retailers and, if needed, easily converted to cash.”

The Main Advantage of Walmart’s Stablecoin

Apart from its wide coverage, the planned coin will reportedly offer very low fees. Additionally, that coin should provide for easy conversion to to cash.

Moreover, maybe the main advantage of this future Walmart coin is the fact it would flatter the households with low income. The families that fall under this category often find banking fees too high. This is where the Walmart coin comes in. It offers alternative ways to deal with assets. Furthermore, we should all keep in mind that Walmart provides most of the products every household need on daily basis. If we combine the low fees with available necessities, we get the winning combination.

Furthermore, Walmart’s coin should also pride itself with many other characteristics. Some of them are: “pre-approved biometric credit”, storing the user’s transactions history, or allowing for loyalty points. Additionally, there are predictions that Walmart coin could offer interest on savings accounts. This was sparked by the official announcement stating:

“The savings can be greater when the customer buys goods that are on their shopping history and are therefore predicted.”

Behind the Scenes of Stablecoin Announcement

Before announcing the plans to develop the coin, Walmart tried to enter the banking system by opening bank branches. However, many opposed to this and the project failed. The analysts stated that this was Walmart’s attempt to become an industrial loan company. This plan faced massive opposition. On the other hand, a company “Target” managed to get an approval to operate as an industrial loan company.

Nevertheless, Walmart kept its focus on payment processing that spread to supply chain management. Simultaneously, Walmart worked on development of blockchain. Now that the network is ready, the next step is to launch the native currency. Obviously, with a strong brand behind it, the future coin will aim high.

Do you trust Walmart to do good with its stablecoin?

He directed “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”, as well as the horror movie “The Orphanage”, dramas “The Impossible” (starring Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor, and Tom Holland) and “The Monster Call” (starring Sigourney Weaver and Liam Neeson).

New Zealand is the place where filming would most probably take place. Jennifer Salke from Amazon reportedly said:” I think we might be in New Zealand. I don’t know. But we’re going to have to go somewhere interesting that could provide those locations in a really authentic way, because we want it to look incredible.”

Where the Series Would Be Available?

Apparently, in order to be able to watch the series, viewers would need to have an Amazon Prime membership. With this membership, viewers should have access to unlimited streaming in Prime Video.
