Casino is a place where people gamble and play games of chance. People at casinos can be pretty diverse – some strut around with confidence expecting to win big, and others are looking to make back the money they lost from their last round. But they all share one thing in common – they have fun!

Because large amounts of money are handled in casinos, there is always the temptation for patrons and staff to cheat or steal. That is why casinos spend a lot of time and money on security. In addition to having cameras located throughout the casino, some casinos have elaborate surveillance systems that allow security workers to view the entire casino at once from a room filled with banks of monitors. These systems can be adjusted to focus on specific tables or areas of the casino where suspicious behavior is taking place.

The most famous casino is in Las Vegas, but they can be found all over the world. Many states legalized gambling in the late 20th century to capitalize on the “destination tourist” market that was created by casinos in Nevada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Native American casinos are also increasing in number. In terms of sheer numbers, Nevada has the largest concentration of casinos in the United States, followed by Atlantic City and then New Jersey.
