Why would you want to prevent anyone from leaving your casino? The answer is that you most definitely want “exit prevention” to prevent any employee from accidentally (or perhaps intentionally) leaving work with facility keys in his/her pocket. Even if purely unintentional, the permanent loss of keys can be very costly and can set a whole series of events into motion.
Let’s start with the obvious – physical security. Despite the advancements in electronic access control and surveillance, most doors still have locks. And locks can be opened by anyone who has the appropriate keys in their possession, which makes them a potential security threat if they land in the wrong hands. Considering that today’s slot machines, which generate a significant percentage of gaming revenues, all have some form of physical lock and key configuration, they alone warrant special attention to ensure that only authorized personnel hold the keys to the kingdom!
Next there’s compliance. Although gaming regulations vary from one state to the next, they’re pretty consistent when it comes to securing access to certain areas within a gaming facility. Breeches in compliance are not just subject to fines, they can shut down operations, which has a direct negative impact on revenues – not something any security professional wants to be held responsible for due to lost or misplaced keys.
And then there is the physical expense related to re-keying facility doors. This can be a very expensive and time consuming process, and as noted above, trigger a compliance shut-down. All because an employee left without returning keys to their proper storage place.
