Continuous regulated surveillance, wagering systems that cannot pause, and a convention floor that fills and empties in a week.
Continuous regulated surveillance, wagering systems that cannot pause, and a convention floor that fills and empties in a week.
Nevada is where this industry's connectivity requirements were invented. Continuous regulated surveillance makes upload the binding constraint, wagering and cashless systems cannot pause, and a citywide convention can multiply the load on a property inside a week. The bandwidth conversation here is not the one most carriers are ready to have.
Where we see this most in Nevada: Las Vegas resort corridor, Downtown Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Sparks.
What is driving the bandwidth requirement
- Surveillance video across the floor, the cage and back of house, recorded continuously and retained for regulators
- Slot accounting, player tracking and cashless wagering systems reporting in real time
- Sportsbook odds feeds and in play wagering, where latency is the product rather than a nice to have
- Guest wifi across thousands of rooms, with expectations set by home broadband
- Convention and event space that adds thousands of devices for a week and then empties
What the connection actually needs to do
- Upload sized for continuous video retention, not for office use. This is the number operators most often get wrong.
- Redundancy that has actually been failed over, because a floor that cannot take a wager is a closed floor
- Hard separation between guest, gaming and corporate traffic, with the gaming side policed hardest
- Carriers that can work inside a regulated environment and document what they did afterwards
The mistake we see most often
Sizing on an average week. The circuit that is comfortable in February is the one that generates complaints during a citywide convention, and the convention is when the property is making its money.
Nevada carriers that fit this profile
The right carrier depends far more on your address than on your industry. That said, these are the Nevada options worth having in the comparison.
Gaming & Casino Resorts connectivity in Nevada: common questions
Why does a casino need so much upload?
Surveillance. Cameras run continuously and the footage has to be retained, so the traffic is constant and it goes outbound. A property sized on download alone will be fine on paper and short in practice.
Should guest wifi and gaming systems share a circuit?
They can share the physical connection if the segmentation and policing are real, but the gaming and payment side should never be left competing with guest streaming. Where budget allows, a second circuit for operations is the cleaner answer.
