Golden Dome Awards

Golden Dome Awards At the 4th Annual World Game Protection Conference on March 1-3, 2009, all eyes in the industry will be on the inaugural Golden Dome Awards. A celebration of take downs and scam busting, the "Golden Domes" will showcase game protection in the 21st Century and recognize excellence in casino surveillance.

Sponsored by Pelco, this interactive learning session will award casino surveillance people who uncover and capture cheating, theft and scams on video. Nominations will be accepted in three categories; Table Games, Slots and General Theft. Video's nominated will be played at the Golden Domes and winners will be selected by the audience using an interactive remote polling system.

Over the next few months the criteria for nominations and details of the event will be posted on the program page of the WGPC website:

"Wow, I just don't know what to say. First off, I'd like to thank God. The Golden Dome Academy. Mom, I love you too. Pelco. Without your support I couldn't do the things I do. Sure I have a good eye but hey, I couldn't catch those scum bags without my deathly quiet, high speed Pelco dome. Pelco, you complete me. Oh yeah, my Director. What can I say. You stood by me as I battled against chronic lateness disease. You stood up for me when I called that pit manager a jerk-off on the phone. You turned a blind eye when I started being late back from my smoke breaks so I could process my online business orders on my cell. Woohhh! I love you man! To my team. You guys rock. OK, sure, we've had our differences but hey, tape changes are bad for my health. I have a doctors note. We're going digital soon anyway. To my Doctor. Thanks for the notes. I'll see you same time next week. Oh by the way. Thanks to my company. The health care plan is to die for. Thanks to my accountant, my lawyer, my real estate agent, my mortgage broker, my masseuse, my life coach, my personal trainer, my gardener, my barista, my self esteem coach, Oprah, Jimmy Buffet, Anthony Robbins, Bill O'Rielly. I love you all. Oh yeah, last but not least. My wife. I love you baby. I know you're at home watching the show with Junior and Junior Junior. I just want to say, without you I couldn't have won this award. When I first started in surveillance 20 years ago you stood by me. Our friends we're making twice as much dealing or landscaping but you stood by me. This Golden Dome is for you babe. I love you. I love you all. Thank you. Thank you!"


- Enjoy the game
