Licensed gaming venues, such as those with slot machines, can present unique security challenges. Whether you're running a small gaming arcade or a large-scale operation, ensuring the safety of your customers, staff, and assets is vital. At Carter Security, we understand the specific requirements of these environments, and we are here to help. With over 30 years of experience in the security industry and a team of highly trained professionals, all of whom hold SIA licences, we are well-equipped to deliver the tailored security solutions you need.

Here’s why having robust security measures is essential for licensed gaming venues and how Carter Security can assist.

- Door Supervisors

One of the most effective ways to manage security at your venue is by employing trained door supervisors. Our licensed door supervisors are more than just security personnel; they are the first point of contact for your customers, maintaining order and ensuring that only those legally permitted to enter do so.

Given that gaming venues are strictly for those over the age of 18, door supervisors play a crucial role in verifying identification and preventing underage individuals from entering the premises. Furthermore, these venues can be hotspots for individuals who may become disruptive, particularly if they are under the influence of alcohol. Our team is trained to handle drunk and disorderly behaviour, diffusing situations calmly and professionally before they escalate. With Carter Security’s door supervisors on-site, you can maintain a safe, welcoming environment for your customers.

- Alarm Response Services

Late-night operating hours are typical for gaming venues, which unfortunately can increase the risk of criminal activity. After closing time, your premises may become a target for burglaries or vandalism, which is where our alarm response services come into play.

Should an alarm be triggered, our rapid response team will be on-site to assess the situation and take necessary action, liaising with law enforcement if required. This means that any potential threats are swiftly dealt with, minimising damage and reducing the risk to your business. By integrating alarm response into your security plan, you can rest assured that your venue is protected 24/7.

- CCTV Monitoring

CCTV monitoring is another indispensable tool in any security plan for gaming venues. Surveillance cameras act as both a deterrent and an investigative tool, providing real-time monitoring of your venue’s interior and exterior. At Carter Security, we offer comprehensive CCTV monitoring services that ensure all activity in and around your premises is closely observed.

CCTV not only helps prevent theft, fraud, and vandalism but also provides invaluable evidence should any incidents occur. It is especially useful in managing customer disputes and ensuring that your venue complies with regulations, such as monitoring over 18s. Our team of trained professionals will ensure that your CCTV system is used effectively to protect your assets and customers alike.
