Willy Allison's View from the Catwalk(08/01/2012) By Willy Allison
This is the final Catwalk. After 7 years I've decided to call it a day and watch the game from the stands. I've had a lot of fun over the years and I can't tell y'all how much I've enjoyed being in your computer.

I often get asked - what is the industry standard for staffing levels in surveillance? It's a popular question right now due to a number of new jurisdictions opening up across the country.

I gotta hand it to the roulette color-up cheats. They're like "Energizer Bunnies." Not only has this Caribbean group of casino scammers been merenguing their way across the U.S.A. hitting roulette tables on a nightly basis, they're multiplying like rabbits.

What if casino surveillance professionals were paid like the New Orleans Saints? For every player they take down (for cheating, theft or advantage play) they receive a cash bonus.

When Darrin Hoke wakes up in the morning "he pisses excellence." This behemoth from the bayou is fast becoming a legend in surveillance, while ironically at the same time the most hated man in surveillance (meow!).

The owner of my gym loooooves January. It's that time of year when optimism, self-consciousness, goals and guilt collide with left-over Christmas pudding to bring new Nikes flocking to the treadmills.

On January 23, casinos all around the world will begin the celebration of Chinese New Year - "the Year of the Dragon." I did a little digging and according to Chinese zodiac, the dragon is the mightiest of the signs. Dragons are driven, unafraid of challenges and willing to take risks. The dragon is a symbol of good fortune and luck.

Behind every good casino man is a good casino wife...or 2...or 3. Usually I like to stay on point with game protection on the Catwalk but if it's ok this month, I'd like to be a little self-indulgent and talk about my wife Jo.

Most people know why casinos have rules. But why do they have procedures? First off, what's the difference? Here's a short description comparing the two. The rules are a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing the conduct of the game. Procedures are an established or official series of steps designed to accomplish an end.

I guess you could say I’m one of those guys that can occasionally spot irony over my shoulder.
