If there is a match, casino staff will be informed and will in turn check the patron\u2019s identification document to see whether it is a match.<\/p>\n<p>Commentating on the recent action, NZCT chief executive officer, Mike Knell stated that it is the group\u2019s legal obligation to ensure that they help problem gamblers who have excluded themselves from casino facilities keep to their commitment. He also said that the adoption of facial recognition technology was an important step in preventing gambling harm in society. Particularly, with gamblers who have already identified that they may have a problem controlling their impulses.<\/p>\n<h2>Costs of Facial Recognition Technology High \u2013 But Worth It<\/h2>\n<p>The high costs of facial recognition technology are widely known. Some may feel that the measure may be somewhat extreme for preventing problem gambling in a limited area. Acknowledging this idea, Knell stated that although there is a small number of self-excluded gamblers in Gisborne, the technology could help the group identify people who are at risk of becoming problem gamblers in future.<\/p>\n<p>The group said it will continue to implement such technology in their casino venues across the country. Prior to this installation, the technology was already being used in nine other NCT casinos outside of Gisborne. Some such locations include Aladdin\u2019s Bar and Tavern, Bollywood Stars, Shipwreck and Brezz\u2019n Sports Bar.<\/p>\n<p>For more on this story,\u00a0keep it here at KiwiCasinos.nz \u2013 your number one source for New Zealand casino news.<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-overall'><!--Yasr Overall Rating Shortcode--><div class='yasr-custom-text-before-overall' id='yasr-custom-text-before-overall'>Our Score<\/div><div class=\"yasr-overall-rating\"><div class=' yasr-rater-stars'\n                           id='yasr-overall-rating-rater-6f2a6e0606299'\n                           data-rating='0'\n                           data-rater-starsize='24'>\n                       <\/div><\/div><!--End Yasr Overall Rating Shortcode--><\/div><div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><!--Yasr Visitor Votes Shortcode--><div id='yasr_visitor_votes_a6525e6f9669d' class='yasr-visitor-votes'><div class=\"yasr-custom-text-vv-before yasr-custom-text-vv-before-2227\">Our Reader Score<\/div><div id='yasr-vv-second-row-container-a6525e6f9669d'\n                                        class='yasr-vv-second-row-container'><div id='yasr-visitor-votes-rater-a6525e6f9669d'\n                                      class='yasr-rater-stars-vv'\n                                      data-rater-postid='2227'\n                                      data-rating='0'\n                                      data-rater-starsize='24'\n                                      data-rater-readonly='false'\n                                      data-rater-nonce='a772ebb625'\n                                      data-issingular='false'\n                                    ><\/div><div class=\"yasr-vv-stats-text-container\" id=\"yasr-vv-stats-text-container-a6525e6f9669d\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"\n                                   class=\"yasr-dashicons-visitor-stats\"\n                                   data-postid=\"2227\"\n                                   id=\"yasr-stats-dashicon-a6525e6f9669d\">\n                                   <path d=\"M18 18v-16h-4v16h4zM12 18v-11h-4v11h4zM6 18v-8h-4v8h4z\"><\/path>\n                               <\/svg><span id=\"yasr-vv-text-container-a6525e6f9669d\" class=\"yasr-vv-text-container\">[Total: 13  Average: 3.6\/5]<\/span><\/div><div id='yasr-vv-loader-a6525e6f9669d' class='yasr-vv-container-loader'><\/div><\/div><div id='yasr-vv-bottom-container-a6525e6f9669d'\n                              class='yasr-vv-bottom-container'\n                              style='display:none'><\/div><\/div><!--End Yasr Visitor Votes Shortcode--><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Zealand Community Trust (NZCT) has fitted facial recognition technology at six gambling venues based in Gisborne.
