They’ve installed a new security system that uses artificial intelligence to detect threats.

This is the first time the casino has had this kind of technology.

The experience is similar to going through a metal detector – you just walk through and it alerts the guards to possible weapons.

It’s called Evolv, and the company’s CEO said the devices can be upgraded to detect multiple threats.

“If there’s a threat, we take a picture of you and connect the threat to the person, but we’re not looking at people, we’re looking at threats,” Evolv Technology CEO Peter George said.

George said these devices have 50 sensors and six cameras on them.
