WA SB5512

House-banked and class F card rooms with multiple locations under the same parent company may use centralized surveillance monitoring locations to remotely monitor gambling activities across all sites from a single hub

Written approval from the Washington State Gambling Commission is required before operating centralized surveillance, including submission of internal controls and passing a preoperational inspection

Centralized monitoring locations must maintain at least two surveillance employees during gambling operations, with staffing ratios of one employee per 15 gambling tables plus additional staff during count processes

Surveillance systems must meet technical requirements including less than one-second video latency, 25 frames per second video quality, alarm systems for count rooms and cages, and encrypted secure communications

Annual independent security assessments including vulnerability and penetration testing are required, with system breaches or camera outages requiring notification to the commission within 24 hours and shutdown of affected gambling areas
