Security tech firms hit jackpot in Asia casino boom

Asia’s new mega-casinos are driving sales and innovation in advanced surveillance technology, from chips with built-in radio transmitters to high-definition, multi-lens, digital cameras that can scan huge gaming floors and catch the deftest sleight of hand.

Security solution providers such as German-Australian joint venture Dallmeier International, California-based Pelco, a unit of Schneider Electric PA, and Samsung Techwin Co Ltd , about 25 percent-owned by Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, are among those reaping the benefits of Asia’s casino building boom.
