Facial recognition has arrived in the Scientific Games’ Las Vegas showroom. Chief product officer Tim Bucher walks up to a baccarat table with two iPad-sized screens attached at the ends. The displays show the title of the game and easily blend into the background amid the lights and sounds of slot machines. But with the press of a button, live camera footage of Bucher appears on the screen, with digital blue dots lining his mouth, eyes and face.
Below him is a line of text: Existing user found. Male. Over 21.
