New high tech scanners are on the way at the region’s largest group of casinos. Four Winds Casinos is unveiling a partnership with Evolv Technology for touchless weapons detection screening. Four Winds Casinos has always had a strict no weapons policy. Evolv’s artificial intelligence-based system, Evolv Express®, will help ensure guest and team member safety without the need for guests to individually complete traditional weapons screening methods.
Frank Freedman, Chief Operating Officer of Four Winds says “The health and safety of our guests and team members has always been our top priority and this proven technology from Evolv will allow us to provide a higher level of screening and security, without impacting the experience of our guests.”
According to Freedman, Evolv’s systems have been used to screen more than 60 million people in the U.S., second only to the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Evolv Express is 10 times faster than traditional metal detectors, resulting in screening an unparalleled 3,600 people per hour, per system. More information on Evolv Technology can be found at www.evolvtechnology.com.
The first of the new screening system is currently in place at each guest entrance of Four Winds Casino South Bend. Guests will not have to stop, empty their pockets, or have their bags checked unless directed by security. Guests may still be asked to provide identification to show they are 21 years or older.
