Cameras

#1

No casino that I know of will allow you to have a camera. They have resigned
themselves to the proliferation of camera phones, though, and if you're just
sneaking a photo of a lucky hand on a machine, they usually won't bother you.

Using a flash to shoot anything with a glass or other reflective panel on it
is asking for trouble with the final image. Plus, a flash going off is a sure
way to alert the casino staff that you're taking pictures!

out well; should have disabled the flash.

Do they have a policy against it, but don't enforce it, or dont care?

Several casinos in Las Vegas allow the use of cameras. The Hard Rock even
allowed a friend of mine to videotape me playing 21.

We have never had a problem using a digital camera in any casino.
We usually take pictures of the screen when we get a Royal and one
of the person to hit it posed in front of the screen. We have taken
pictures of others and emailed it to them.

I have taken many pictures of winning jackpots (both video poker
and slots). I have taken many pictures of friends in casinos.
In fact, I purposely carry my digital camera with me every time
I go into a casino.

I have never been banned from taking any of these photos, whether
using a flash or not. I have never been bothered by any casino
employee for taking pictures. Except, only ONE time, a security
officer approach me as I was focusing on a VP machine for a photo.
When he saw that it was a royal flush on the display, he just smiled
and said, "congratulations."

I think that the real issue about the use of cameras in casinos is
whether or not any other customers are involved in the photograph.
My experience has been: If you are not bothering anyone else,
they let you take the pictures.
