Allowing for the use of centralized surveillance systems by house-banked card rooms.

SB 5512 allows licensed house-banked card rooms in Washington with multiple locations to use a single centralized surveillance monitoring center instead of individual systems at each site. This directly affects multi-location card room operators, requiring them to get written approval from the Washington Gambling Commission and meet specific safety and staffing standards. Key provisions include mandatory preoperational inspections, internal control submissions, real-time monitoring capabilities, alarm systems for security breaches, and minimum staffing ratios (e.g., one employee per 15 gambling tables). The bill updates gambling regulations to modernize security oversight while ensuring consistent safety protocols across all monitored locations.
