What is a Casino Sign?

Signs in Casinos

A casino sign is a banner placed outside a casino or gambling establishment to indicate whether individuals can enter and gamble within, as well as provide vital information regarding game rules and strategies. Some signs caution against photographing casino security or money movements while other signs allow photojournalists to capture people enjoying poker, blackjack and other casino games. Casinos traditionally prohibit cameras for security and protection reasons as well as to prevent cheating. Recent years have seen casinos becoming more open to photography as it can serve as a marketing and public relations tool. However, it remains important to exercise caution when taking photographs and know the laws surrounding taking such shots.
