Most technology breakthroughs in casino security over the last 15 years or so have come from Jeff Jonas. He’s a legend at IBM, and throughout the security business, for his advancements in identity recognition (and other things). If you’ve seen the specials on Travel Channel where they scan your image on a security camera and match it to a database, regardless of what disguise you may be wearing….THAT’s Jeff Jonas.

He gave a presentation on casino security technology a couple months ago. The initial article linked here is interesting. But do yourself a favor and keep following links to Jeff’s blog. It’s as good as it gets if you like the casino industry and want to know more about it. Jeff’s the man.
