Certification programs are available and classroom training is usually conducted in a casino-like ambiance with the use of surveillance camera equipment.
While some training beyond high school is usually needed, this does not involve a bachelor’s degree. This usually happens when a casino utilizes a catwalk over one-way mirrors, which are located above the casino floor and serve to augment existing equipment. Sometimes surveillance agents walk the casino floor. Casino security personnel maintain and organize recordings from security cameras, which are sometimes used as evidence in police investigations. With the utilization of audio and video equipment in an observation room, they are on the lookout for irregular activities, such as cheating or theft.
