At the International Gaming Expo, Ipsotek announced the launch of a new CCTV Casino Suite that will increase productivity at roulette and blackjack tables. A prototype developed by the company to show how the product will work has been running smoothly for many months.

The Ipsotek Casino Suite provides real-time and past management information as well as a ‘drill down’ feature. This means that if a specific table is running under the amount desired by the casino then the video for that period can be viewed instantly by clicking on the performance chart.

At roulette tables casinos can find out the spin per hour on open tables, spins hour by hour at all tables in any session and when low activity is happening at open tables. At the blackjack tables the casinos can use the product to see the deal rate across all tables at any given time, the number of bets per hand at currently used tables and the total number of hands used in any specified time frame.

The Finance Director for Ipsotek, Andrew Eggington commented on the Casino Suite: “Our new casino suite offers a unique ability for casino operators to pinpoint how and where they can increase profitability. The system collects activity and event information from the gaming tables, typically using existing CCTV cameras. The activities gathered include the frequency of roulette wheel spins and the speed a hand of cards is dealt as a function of bets taken. The information is then turned into data that can be used to trigger performance-related alarms as well as being stored in a central database, where if may subsequently be used for staff productivity management. This data is used to optimize activity levels and hence improve the casino average win percentage.”
