Facial recognition cameras at NSW casino entries to detect excluded persons
The Star planned 15 more facial recognition cameras for its Sydney casinos after the NSW inquiry
Problem
A NSW inquiry found The Star unsuitable to hold a casino licence, citing failures in fraud prevention and risk. The company needed to keep excluded people out and stop underage entry.
Approach
The Star already ran a network of 55 facial recognition devices in NSW. As part of its remediation plan it said it would add 15 cameras at perimeter entry points, bringing the total to 70, with rollout due by the end of December 2022. It also approved face-to-photo verification to check age at entry.
Results
Takeaway
Facial recognition was used as a regulatory remediation measure. The article gave no results for the cameras.
