Everything is under control

May a lot of people remember a movie about the casino robbery name “Oushen’s Eleven”. To shot a scene of breaking into the casino a lot of time and efforts were spent to disable a system of video observation that are plenty in “Bellagio” casino. And it is quite obvious. Gambling business require high security measures. Not only the casino’s reputation but also valuable property is as stake. How to prevent gamblers from cheating, how to avoid croupier’s collusion with a gambler, how to reveal this or that violation? The head of the project “Systems of video observation” Vladimir Gorbachev has given answers to these and other questions.
He has been working for Gem Company for four years and he supplies Moscow and Russian casinos with the systems of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV). The direction of digital systems of recordings is in great demand. Modern technologies allow making recordings of all operations in digital, to make high quality images, easily find this or that document sorted by date and time of the requested fragment. Moreover, CCTV allows transmitting data to long distances and has a number of advantages in comparison with usual video recordings.

GEM Company presents the best equipment produced by the UK Company Baxall and Japanese Ikegami. Vladimir considers the cooperation with the company “Russian engineering society “Pervozanniy” which unites engineers from Moscow and St.-Petersburg advantageous. The first joint installation was “Moscow” casino in the hotel “Leningradskaya”. That was the first step on triumph way of CCTV based on matrix switchboard Baxall Pyramid and audio matrix Synectics in Moscow and regional casinos. The company is proud of its latest installation in “Camilla” casino. GEM Company has installed mare than 100 cameras based on Baxal Pyramid and paralleled sound switchboard by means of audio matrix. The list of the company’s installations may be continued: “Royal”, “Alexander Block”, “Pharaoh”, and “Mon Plaisir’ in Moscow and a number of regional large entertainment complexes. The total number installation is about 30.

Once Vladimir was asked: “Whether this is a perspective direction?”

There are cheaters and dishonest casino personnel and the manager of a hall may be confident only if there is video observation in a hall. By means of video observation it is easy to think of and understand the situation after some time has passed. I would like to warn casino proprietors that not all equipment in the market can effectively solve all security problems. GEM company offer systems that were tested in real situations and that meet all the requirements of a customer.
I would like to illustrate it by a couple of examples. Cameras that observe a game must give the smallest details of a game for example the color of chips. Professionals know that there are “tricky” colors to be transmitted. For example dark green in many cameras is transmitted as black. And in casino as a rule hundreds are colored with black and tens are colored with dark green. One may easily mix these colors. It is very important to follow payments when all chips are in games. Such systems of video observation keep everything under control.
One of the novelties is operator free systems. A camera work itself: first fix stakes, then put numbers and then all numbers in the field in front of croupier. Such kind of reflection of data helps not only a casino but also gamblers to see winning variants. Now the system is installed in one of casinos. If everything will be fine we will show it at the exhibition.
One of the advantages in working with our company is flexible system of payment. If a customer does not like the price of the equipment we offer another which price is lower? Our matrix switchboard may run one type of cameras as well as several types. The systems may be composed according to customer’s requirements and peculiarities of specific rooms. GEM Company may satisfy demand of every casino.
