How do you sell merchandise to a casino?

Mark T: How do you sell merchandise to a casino?
I recently designed a device that can help with the security operation of casino more efficient, especially when it comes to preventing dealers and cashiers from making mistakes counting or pocketing chips.

Do you think casinos will be interested? Do I contact the security manager of a casino to market this? Or does this have to go through the gaming board?

Maybe you should be contacting a marketing firm rather than asking a bunch of degenerate gamblers.

You have to patent it first so nobody steals your idea. Then you sell the technology to a big company with lots of resources or if you are bold you can license out it’s manufacture to a contract manufacturing organization.

Either way, you need a way of mass producing what you designed and that is going to require some cash and some loans.

I suspect that they have RFID’s embedded so that they can be detected from as far away as 25 feet. Even books from Amazon have RFID’s so that they can count the books on the shelves and track them. I doubt they would be interested cause such technology already exist and is probably already in use.

But Kudos for reinventing the wheel. When you catch up with the rest of the world, let us know.

I would do three things:
1) Take out ads in trade magazines. There are quite a few casino specific trade mags and probably a handful of casino security mags.
2) Rent out floor space in casino and casino security conventions. Make sure you have a great marketing team to pimp out your booth.
3) Buy email/snail mail address lists of casino management and bombard them with advertisements.

Trying to talk directly to casino security personnel isn’t going to get you anywhere.
