PARKWEST BICYCLE CASINO

Patron Use of Audio / Video Recording Technology on Casino Premises


This Policy applies to all patrons at Parkwest Bicycle Casino (“Casino” or “Parkwest”).

Any technology capable of recording video and/or audio of team members and patrons raises privacy concerns. Technological developments in recent years have produced (in addition to compact recorders and phones with recording capabilities) wearable technology capable of recording and uploading both audio and video to cloud-based systems for later retrieval and/or live streaming, typically on or through social media platforms.

Wearable technology (“WT”) poses unique challenges because it is inconspicuous and not obvious when it is in use. Some WT, such as the Meta Frame, appears almost as an ordinary, everyday accoutrement, that would not be suspected of having recording capabilities. This type of WT heightens privacy concerns.

Some Casino patrons desire to use Recording Technology (including WT) for their own promotional or educational purposes. For some, this will enhance their gaming experience. For other patrons, and Parkwest team members and business partners on premises, it may be undesirable, depending on how the technology and recordings are used.

To balance these interests, Parkwest established this Policy on Patron Use of Recording Technology (including Wearable Technology)(the “RT Policy”) to set the conditions under which this technology may be used on the Casino premises. The Parkwest default policy is that video and audio recording by patrons is prohibited on Casino premises, unless it conforms to one of the exceptions and other requirements of this policy. The publication, or posting for public viewing on any digital platform, of any video or audio recording from the Casino premises also is prohibited, except as provided in this policy.

  3. AV Recordings – any digital or analog recording of sound or light to create an audio or visual record or live/relayed transmission. This includes any audio clips and still images extracted from recordings.
