Four Winds Casinos adds touchless weapons screening

July 5, 2021

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians has announced it is installing touchless weapons detection systems from Evolv Technology at all four of its Four Winds Casinos.

One of the systems is already in place at the organization's South Bend, Indiana location. Evolv Express systems are located at each of the northern Indiana casino’s entrances. Visitors are scanned without having to stop and empty pockets or have bags checked, except when requested by a security guard. The other casino locations are in Michigan.

The Pokagon Band said that the new technology will add an additional layer of security in using artificial intelligence to screen visitors.

Ransomware and the propulsion of the extortion economy has rapidly eclipsed into a national priority. Recently, we observed the catastrophic impact of a widescale ransomware attack impacting gas pipelines and raising national gas prices overnight.
