is new since I last went to Vegas. If I've never been backroomed or photographed to my knowledge), is it advisable to stay away from casinos that use Facial recognition?
I am not too worried about facial recognition (yet).
Just don't look up LOL
the only reason to b worried is if u r in the book. Even then it is used when checking out reasonably large action. So if yer low stakes and clean...no prob
but am under much more scrutiny as I play black chips or higher. Lower chip level has little to worry about. However, green action may sometimes get FRS scrutiny.
What made you think it was FRS that nailed you when you were caught, as opposed to old-fashioned counter catching? If you don't mind, could you share some of your experiences of being caught several times by FRS? How was it different than being nailed the old-fashioned way?
I have seen pit and security personnel repeatedly studying some photo information and staring at me about the time that I was asked to leave. To further evidence that it was FRS, I use many disguises and alterations of my appearance. I had several of these alterations constructed by people in the business of disguise and they are excellent. No two are similar. Photographs passed around casinos previous to FRS did not catch me, certainly not as constantly as I am being caught now. When such a wide range of appearances are caught I have to assume that facial structure is the reason and FRS is being used. I make certain that there are no other identying factors, which I will not describe (unique clothing ((initialed; etc.)) and other things can also identify a person).
I have much more evidence that I will not disclose here.
Now I know it is common for the detractors to always find some reason to try to say that it is not so and was for another reason, but their words are both expected and amusing! Since FRS is the most commonly used method of identifying people, especially with so many altered appearances (no two the same in any casino) it was most likely used. The detractors will always complain that since I did not have 100% proof and a signed note for all casino and surveillance personnel, that it was not the case. But most of these people just want to argue and ignore reality and what is cleary the most likely case. Unfortunately, their arguments just serve to cloud the issue for those seeking information from those who've had the experience.
Thanks for sharing your experience in this matter. It could be a sensitive subject, but I think your answer was just enough without being too revealing.
