Casinos are high-stakes environments, bustling with excitement, valuable assets, and, unfortunately, considerable security risks. As a trusted name in the security industry, Carter Security has over 30 years of experience in providing expert protection across various sectors, including the casino industry. Our team of fully qualified, SIA-licensed guards are well-equipped to mitigate the unique challenges casinos face, ensuring a safe and secure atmosphere for both patrons and staff.

Understanding the Risks

Casinos handle large sums of money, attracting all sorts of individuals — not all of whom have the best intentions. Theft, fraud, and cheating are just some of the threats casinos must contend with. Additionally, the sheer number of people on the casino floor means heightened risks of physical altercations, intoxication-related incidents, and even organised crime.

Security isn't just about protecting cash and chips; it's also about safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring staff safety, and maintaining the casino’s reputation. The fast-paced nature of gaming, with transactions happening at every turn, makes it a challenging environment to secure.

At Carter Security, we understand that comprehensive security for casinos involves much more than just guarding the door. That's why we offer a wide range of tailored services designed to address these risks.

Our Security Services for Casinos

1. Door Supervisors
The first line of defence in any casino is effective crowd control, which starts at the entrance. Our SIA-licensed door supervisors are trained to manage access, enforce ID checks, and handle any disturbances with professionalism and discretion. They play a crucial role in preventing unwanted individuals from entering the premises while maintaining a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for your legitimate patrons.

2. CCTV Monitoring
Casinos rely heavily on surveillance systems to monitor all areas of the premises. From the gaming floor to back-of-house operations, our CCTV monitoring service provides a 24/7 watchful eye over the entire venue. Our team is experienced in spotting suspicious behaviour and identifying potential risks before they escalate. With real-time monitoring, we ensure immediate action can be taken whenever needed.

3. Key Holding and Alarm Response
In a casino, you need more than just an on-site presence; you need peace of mind after hours too. Our key holding and alarm response services are designed to ensure your property is secure even when your casino is closed. In the event of an alarm, our rapid-response team will be on-site promptly, assessing the situation and taking the necessary action to protect your assets.

4. Patrols and Static Guards
In larger casinos, static guards and regular patrols can provide an additional layer of security. Our experienced team can monitor critical areas, such as cash-handling rooms, gaming tables, and vaults. By establishing a visible presence throughout the premises, our security guards serve as both a deterrent to potential criminals and a reassuring presence for customers and staff.

5. Tailored Security Solutions
Every casino is unique, which is why we offer bespoke security solutions to fit your specific needs. Whether you require additional support during busy weekends or prefer a discreet presence during quieter times, Carter Security can tailor a solution that works for you.
