How to Start With This Department

Your casino can begin with one focused SOP package for this department before committing to a full casino-wide manual.

New SOP package

Write a clean Surveillance procedure set from scratch with roles, steps, approvals, records, exceptions, and escalation points.

Existing SOP rewrite

Take old or unclear procedures and rewrite them into practical, audit-ready, training-friendly documents.

Forms and checklists

Create the logs, forms, opening checks, exception reports, approval records, and supervisor checklists needed to support the SOPs.
