Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer readable storage to implement an automated system for video surveillance in a casino or other controlled environment. Players in the casino can be automatically scanned and analyzed for whether they are under the legal gambling age or not. When an underage gambler is detected, a casino security employee (or other casino personnel) is notified so they can take the appropriate action. Similarly, players who are excluded from the casino can also be automatically detected and would be ejected when detected.
