Every casino has a lot to lose. A single breach can bring slot machines, hotel systems, and surveillance offline. It can leak guest data, disrupt loyalty programs, or expose your financials. In an industry that runs 24/7, even one hour of downtime can cost millions.
But the impact doesn’t stop at lost revenue. Cyber incidents can trigger regulatory penalties, lawsuits, and damage to your brand. In some cases, they can even threaten your gaming license—especially when violations involve the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGC), other state gaming commissions, the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC), GLI, or PCI DSS requirements.
That’s why cybersecurity can’t be an afterthought—it has to be part of your core operations. Whether you’re expanding to online gaming or just trying to harden legacy infrastructure, protecting your digital systems is just as critical as securing chips and cash.
See why threats are rising in our latest blog post on casino cyber security trends.
Casinos face unique cyber threats every day. Attackers are always evolving, and they know where to look for gaps. These are just a few risks casinos deal with:
A single ransomware event can shut down slots, surveillance, hotel check-in, and even cage operations. That means massive revenue loss and regulatory exposure—all in a matter of minutes.
Distributed denial-of-service attacks overwhelm your network, taking down sportsbook apps, mobile sites, or loyalty kiosks during peak times like NFL Sundays or playoff weekends.
Public guest Wi-Fi can be a gateway for bad actors. Attackers can hijack sessions, intercept sensitive data, or pivot into your internal environment if segmentation isn’t properly enforced.
POS terminals and cage systems are high-value targets. Malware, skimmers, or rogue devices can silently collect cardholder data, leading to PCI violations and customer fallout.

We evaluate player portals, payment platforms, and sportsbook interfaces for security flaws that could impact data or gameplay.
We simulate phishing, vishing, and in-person tactics to test staff vigilance and response to social engineering attacks.
We examine your physical security posture—badge access, surveillance blind spots, server room protection, and more.
Our team attempts real-world intrusions into sensitive areas, from surveillance rooms to chip storage, mimicking actual threat actor tactics.
We simulate advanced persistent threat actors targeting casinos, combining cyber, social, and physical intrusion tactics.
We’re not outsiders. Our team has performed security assessments and penetration tests for well-known casino properties in Las Vegas, giving us firsthand insight into the industry’s unique operational and regulatory environment.
