Macau casinos have been rolling out artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in order to monitor habits of patrons and quickly identify those individuals who are likely to spend, and lose, big. The eyes in the skies of Macau casinos are upgrading their capabilities with artificial intelligence. Make no mistake, the AI implementations aren't tailored to protect gamblers. Instead, the technology is to aid the casino in pinpointing its VIPs and making sure they're being catered to. Bloomberg journalist Jinshan Hong says Las Vegas Sands and MGM Resorts' Macau casinos have already installed such monitoring equipment. Hong reports that hidden cameras use facial recognition technologies to identify guests, and digitally-enabled poker chips and baccarat tables allow the house to keep close tabs on guests.
