A casino is a facility for certain types of gambling. It may be a standalone building, or part of a larger complex that includes hotels, restaurants, and other amenities.

The most common forms of gambling are slot machines, black jack roulette, craps and keno. These games are popular and provide casinos with billions of dollars in profit each year.

Casinos also offer a variety of table games, which involve one or more players competing against the house (the casino itself). Some tables games are conducted by croupiers or dealers, who select random numbers from a computerized system. Other tables games are played against other players, such as standard poker.

Security

The casino floor has an extensive security operation. Dealers, pit bosses and other workers monitor everything on the casino floor and keep an eye out for blatant cheating. They can spot palming, marking or switching cards and dice and other acts that indicate someone is trying to defraud the casino.

Interior Design

The interior of a casino is meant to create a sense of mystery and excitement. Lush carpets and tiling add to the ambience. Often, large prizes like sports cars are displayed prominently.

Keeping in Touch

The goal of most casino employees is to keep the patrons happy, while also making them feel safe and comfortable. Windows and clocks are rare, and casino designers strive to minimize the awareness of time.
