GAMBLING CASINO SECURITY GUARDS

Civil lawsuits have been filed against major, high profile casinos because of violent behavior exhibited by some guards! This would normally be hard to believe if it had not been captured on videotape.

Guards are not required to receive extensive proper training by casinos to get employed there and possibly may not even go through an extensive background check! This means a convicted felon could maybe get a job as a casino security guard in too many states!

Without proper training a guard may be left to do what he feels is best in many situations and these decisions may not always be the best decisions.

At least one person has even died while being detained by casino guards. Former guards even testified that they witnessed the attack by an associate security guard, an attack which ended up killing the detained gambler of the casino!
