The Story

Casinos in Macau and Las Vegas have heightened their security measures following Sunday’s mass shooting in the Sin City which killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 others.

 

In Las Vegas, expect more police in casinos.

Nevada Gaming Control Board chairman A.G. Burnett said that there will be additional plainclothes agent in casinos that gamblers could interact with. Burnett said that this move is a “one-time deal.” He added: “I want to make clear: We’re not worried about anything, but I think it’s a sensitive time, and I just want to have plainclothes folks around and about.”

 

A casino magnate has warned about the shooting.

A year before 64-year-old Stephen Paddock initiated what could be the deadliest mass shooting in the U.S. in recent history, security-obsessed casino magnate Steve Wynn warned that Vegas was “a target city.” Wynn had metal detectors in his properties and had guards trained to prevent a large-scale attack. But Wynn’s claim was ignored.

 

The effects of Sunday’s shooting was also felt in Macau.

According to the Macau Post Daily, the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) immediately got in touch with the six casino firms operating in the former Portuguese enclave. Macau casino industry stakeholders and government officials are set to meet after the National Day holiday to discuss security measures in Asia’s gaming hub.

 

Takeaway

Sunday’s deadly mass shooting will forever change the way casinos globally will implement their security protocols. Hopefully, this rethink on how security in Las Vegas casinos is implemented will prevent a repeat of a deadly rampage.
