My concern of security when using casino houses.

[Mauser]

Ever had such concerns for security when visiting live casino centers?  or do other reasons which prevent you from using these live casino centers? (please state it).

The casino in my home town is very posh, you need to wear a suit and tie to enter. All the people I see there are elegant and I don't expect them to be looking for targets. A few times I saw some very beautiful woman who were alone in the casino, maybe they were looking for some older men to support their gambling habits. So far I haven't felt unsafe at the casino, the parking is right next door and there is always security at the door. I even heard that if you win larger amounts someone will escort you to your car. To be honest my winnings at my local casinos were always mediocre, I never had large sums of money in my pocket when leaving. As a woman it might be different as well and it's always better to visit in a group, it's also more fun.
As for the online gambling boom we saw over the last two years, I would not leave large sums of money at the casino. Whenever I have a bigger win I withdraw money, this also helps me to save some of my gambling profits. I would treat a casino similar to a crypto exchange, don't leave all your money on an exchange. It will cost some money in transactions to always move money around, but at least we are save in case the casino or exchange gets hacked.

That's right, even in the parking space. there are still casino security or even outside of the casino's itself. But then again, you know that risk when you go outside by yourself, you need to be self aware of your environment and think that there is someone that is following you then take steps or maybe not go home right away. Perhaps stay inside the casino hotel for good measures before you go home with big money. But then again, with this kind of incident, case that the OP link is separated the individual is looking to hurt other people regardless of the place or venue.

If you earn a big sum of money when you are gambling at a physical casino then you can ask a member of their security staff to accompany you to your car, however once you leave the parking lot of the casino you are on your own, and as we know there are many criminals that are always trying to see if there is anyone that has won a big amount at the casino to rob them, however this is getting less and less common as many casinos no longer give prize money in the form of cash and instead they send you a wire transfer, and in that way you no longer need to be as afraid as if you were carrying the cash around.

I agree with this. You could ask the casino's staffs to escort you out of their establishment and accompany you to your car. Or you can just hail a cab on your app to safely go home. However, always be careful because it's really true that the bad guys are just waiting for the perfect timing to get into you. They are always looking for your vulnerable time so always be on your guard. Always check the surroundings before leaving the casino. Check whether there's someone suspicious outside waiting for you. If you happen to spot one, the best possible thing you could do is to ask a friend to give you  a ride home.

Nowadays, cash as prize is seldom given to the players due to security reasons inside the casino and outside the casino. If you are going to a small time casino that only gives cash as reward, just always be careful the moment you get out  whether with big winnings or none. Because the criminals cannot really distinguish easily which one has big amount of money, they are targeting players leaving the casino premises in general.

~ I'm not really understand how you can be scammed using online though, perhaps when you login to fake or similar sites? But as gamblers, we all know that we have to check everything first or even bookmark the sites so that we will avoid this kind of scamming by those criminals.

For land base casinos, casino is high but nevertheless when you go outside that's where we should be very careful specially if you have lots of cash on hand. Maybe there is a spotter inside the casino that will watch you and then when you go out, their accomplice will be waiting for you outside.

What I don't know is how exactly one could be careful with lots of cash on hand. If you are not a big shot with security guys around, you are just risking your life, that's all. That's why I think going to land-based casinos is not worth it. You either lose your money there, or, if you win big, you are risking to be robbed and hurt.

That's right bro, that's what money brings when you bring a lot to the casino as long as you don't make it obvious that you're carrying a lot of money so you don't think about it.

    Then when you win a large amount at a casino house edge, before you leave the land-based casino it is good to call a close friend first and have them pick you up at the casino where you are so that you are safe this way, rather than the one where you go out right away and call your friend who is close to you.

[Fortify]

I wouldn't say am much of a gambler the slightest bit, for so many reasons, but what stands as a peak reason for my concern is that of security.
All thanks to the advent of online casinos which gained massive popularity during the covid-19 era. Though the concern for security online as per being hacked or being a victim of phishing sites, looms. It is agreeably more fun visiting a live casino center with physically present spin machines.
Most of the places in my locale where these games are played seem to be a hub for miscreants looking for likely victims and observing the cash flow of individuals using these spin machines. It is not too long ago we learnt of the stabbing that happened in front of a las vegas casino and the recount of the perpetrator.

In a yuletide season as this, it is always advised to be cautious of locations one frequents, especially places where we have these spin machines; it is to save cash by preventing losing too much in the games and from unplanned mishap that might befall one when in the midst of such a surrounding.

Ever had such concerns for security when visiting live casino centers?  or do other reasons prevent you from using these live casino centers? (please state it).

Casinos are honestly some of the safest places around in comparison to other venues - there is a fair bit of money floating about so they will have security teams that are able to deal with random players who are kicking off (when talking about a medium to large size casino at least). They will have CCTV and other security monitoring software that will be watching the floor with a manned operator, first on the look out for cheaters but secondly on the look out for any type of trouble makers. A casino is looking for people that are happy to hand over their money and people are more likely to relax when they feel totally safe, so it is definitely part of the environment that they want to engineer.

I've had friends call me late at night to pick them up after winning a lot of money at casinos.  It's a genuine concern.  People will stake out winners and jump them in parking lots to steal winnings.  Casinos especially seem to have some of the shadiest customer bases of any place I can think of.  They also stay open late at night.  If you've got a ton of cash on you and it's late at night, walking through giant parking lots probably isn't the best idea.  Where I live you can carry a gun so it isn't the worst thing to have to do, but if you're able, having a friend who can pick you up right at the exit is the way to go.

Goes to show how crime-riddled your neighborhood or their neighborhood is. If they had to call you in the dead of the night just to ask for a ride so they can home safely, it means that no one can be trusted or they don't trust anyone outside, their house, not even the ones who's supposed to keep them safe like the cab drivers or whatnot. You're right too with the fact that carrying a gun adds a little peace of mind for when stuff like this happens but if the guy has a gun too, there's still that risk. This is the very same reason I don't gamble that much in casinos anymore. The fear of dying just because I carry cash with me is too much for the risk. At least with online gambling, I still get to keep my life with me if I do get hacked and I lose my funds.

[roslinpl]

Not all the neighbors are same as like you said, they are selfish. Some are trends to help the people, when they are in the need. Sometimes you was captured by the police and they ask to pay some cash for the night out. They you try to contact your family members all are not wake-up. So we can get the support the neighbors to get escape from such incident. Like wise owner of casino will had full security for their website. Because they use to inverse thousands of dollars for it. Even they paying some money for the promotion of the projects. It’s hard to bring capital for the project.

I think this is a problem for casinos worldwide, criminals follow the money and they know that there is a lot of money moving at casinos and they want to get a cut, so you need to be careful, in fact such an aggressive approach is hardly needed as many people are drinking alcohol at the casino and they are not precisely at their most alert state, for example a very common way thieves can rob you inside the casino is by working with a partner, and while one of them distracts you with something their accomplice comes from the other side and steal your chips.

best to always have companion when going in land base casino and also to have always an exit plans , never trust everyone inside and outside casino because you'll never know when you will win or when you will be lucky .

but this is a rare case As far as I know because there are very few that i heard from news but of course we must always take one step further from our security because if luck goes with you then surely winning will be very risky.

[Viscore]

Anywhere people see you handling money there is a certain risk, although I have never heard stories of robberies where I live. The normal thing is to take certain precautions if you earn a good amount of money, such as taking a cab home.

Sometimes it's in the person on why they are targeted by people with bad intentions. Keeping a low profile really helps, especially if you are a gambler that rolls a huge sum every now and then.

And not only in casinos, acting on a day to day basis showing that you have a lot of money can be dangerous because it puts you in the spot of many criminals.

The moment you show them bad intentions, everything will turn out bad as long as money is involved. Especially for known gamblers, they will always be the target of criminals since they always bring along money to gamble. That is why security should always be tight, not only inside casinos but also even outside casinos because its where most of the criminals are waiting for some victims.

I'm not too sure which place you mean. as far as my experience of playing at land casinos, whether in Malaysia, Singapore or Macau, I have never seen any crime I mean, someone is free to go in and out without worrying that someone's money will be robbed. as told by the Op on this thread. after all, the criminal case that happened in Op's story had nothing to do with the robbery case. the individual was targeting his victims at random, and authorities have made no statement that the case was pure robbery. as you said, currently the casino does not provide winnings in cash, but it can be through a transfer service and it is more efficient.  IMO, evil will always be everywhere and we never know when evil will befall us.

So, what we need to remember is to stay alert.

Better yet, just stay at home and play in an online gambling casino platform.  it will save you the trouble of troubling your friend to accompany you.  It also saves you the trouble of going through heavy traffics and it will save you time traveling back home.

If paranoia is developed when going out to the local casino due to this kind of incident then as I stated, just play in an online casino.  This way you will be safe and sound inside the protection of your home.

Dont be predictable would be the biggest thing, if you have a win dont walk out the door with pockets bulging cash.   A really big casino will see you to the car perhaps but it seems foolish to be obvious in your movements with any large cash transaction.  Ideally dont withdraw right away if at all possible, delay, come back the next day be regular rather then a one off type occurrence because most thieves arent the patient type.  Obviously digital is much preferable for these and other reasons, also just dont gamble alone seems a good idea imo.

There is currently a lot of leeway being provided by the casino to avoid such a scenario from happening. Actually, not all the time casinos will be able to give prizes in the form of a wire transfer or digital transfer of funds as there are still modern casinos that give cash rewards but as far as I know, that is just a default method, and you can just ask for other alternative or even cashing your prize at a later time or day. Also, since these kinds of incidents are to be expected for jackpot winners or high rollers, they can ask for some security personnel to assist not only to your car but rather directly at your home, they can even chauffeur you until you are safe but still you will need to pay for fee for these services.

There's lots of ways if you wanted to do so if you arent really that in a rush on pulling those cash in one go and would just simply leave the venue.If you do mind about your safety then it would really be just right

that you shouldn't go outside of the premises on having those tons of funds which it is really just a suicide thing since abduction and criminals are really just waiting for you outside.

I do agree into this suggestion that it would be better if winnings would be partitioned and would be gradually be taken on day to day basis and of course
only get those small amounts.

I might agree on this too but depends on how the user's approach to this.

There are gamblers that feel so rushed to enjoy their money that's why they will do a bulky withdrawal right away.

Maybe much better to become patient and just slowly withdraw the money for the site not to be notified about big activities that happening on our account.

Eye in the sky. I witnessed though one individual trying to run out of casinos, not sure why he was running or who he is running away from, but he was caught outside the vicinity of the casino because security as very tight as you have said. And they design the casino to have choking points, simply you will have to go there to go outside but then it the camera will take a full picture of you and that it is narrow and small width that you will slow down and with that the security can go after you.

[Crypt0Gore]

I was never a fan of casinos and gambling den until the beginning of online casinos, I was so scared of going to a location to gamble, and not just about security alone but the insult that's been passed to gamblers in my city, they are treated like a losing gamblers and all the insults? Until they become the a winner.

The world is revolving and changes are happening in every facet of life which includes casino cash dealings. And it would be so lame of anyone that has just won about $200k or more, for example, from a casino not to have security plans beyond the casino's premises. The desperation of scammers and robbers is high in recent times, it would be good for everyone to opt for the electronic channel for crediting in such condition.

This is unless the person is also a big gun in which such cash in possession would not pose any security threat.
