Security Systems
Security Systems for Your Gaming Establishment
Security systems play a direct role in staying compliant with Illinois gaming standards. Between regulatory expectations and late-night activity, how your space is monitored affects everything from daily operations to incident response.
Already have an existing security system? J&J Gaming can integrate our system with your existing one for alerts & more! Giving you one source for protecting your gaming business.
With J&J Gaming, security is built into our partnership from the start. Our setup includes camera surveillance and 24/7 monitoring, all aligned with Illinois Gaming Board expectations. When you partner with J&J Gaming for video gaming in Chicago, cameras covering your gaming area are provided at no charge, so you have a compliant system in place without having to source or manage it yourself.
Gaming Area Security Cameras — Included With Your J&J Partnership
Licensed Illinois gaming locations are responsible for maintaining the age limit and safety of the gaming area. J&J Gaming fulfills that requirement as part of your partnership, with a system designed around how your space operates and how your video gaming terminals are used throughout the day, taking the worry off of the establishment’s employees.
Instead of coordinating vendors or troubleshooting equipment, you have a system already in place that supports both compliance and day-to-day visibility.
What this looks like in your operation:
24/7 Mobile Viewing
Check in on your space anytime from your phone. Whether you are at home or just stepping away, you can quickly see what is going on without needing to be on-site.
Motion-Activated Sirens And Lights
If movement is detected after hours, red and blue lights turn on right away, often enough to make someone think twice about sticking around.
Recorded Footage Access
When something comes up, you have footage to go back to. It helps when you need to double-check what happened or sort out a situation with staff or customers.
Security Monitoring
J&J’s team monitors motion and alarm activity and steps in when needed. If something looks off, they can take action, so you are not the one handling it alone.
No-Charge Camera Coverage For Gaming Areas
Your gaming area cameras are included as part of your partnership, keeping you covered without needing another system or incurring extra costs.
Moreover, J&J not only installs & services the security system, but we also personally monitor them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Expanded Coverage Options
While your gaming area cameras are already included, some establishments need visibility beyond that space. Spaces like entry points and bar areas can all become part of how your business is monitored, especially during high-traffic hours or after closing.
J&J Gaming offers flexible options to extend coverage where it makes sense for your layout. Whether you are working with a single entrance or a larger footprint, the system can be built around how your space operates day to day.
Our options include:
Targeted Coverage Where It Matters Most
Add cameras to entrances, bar areas, or exterior access points where issues are more likely to happen, especially during busy hours or after closing.
Flexible Setup Based On Your Layout
Your space is unique, and your coverage should match it. Choose the areas that make sense for how your business runs, without being locked into a preset system.
Installation And Ongoing Service Included
J&J handles the setup and keeps everything running. You are not chasing down vendors or dealing with equipment issues; it’s all managed for you.
Already Have a Security System?
There is no need to rip out what is already working. If you have an alarm system in place, J&J Gaming can be added to it. Our team can receive alerts, access your gaming cameras, and step in when something needs attention.
If your current setup has made you hesitant to switch terminal operators, you can make the transition without starting from scratch.
Why Security Is Built Into the J&J Gaming Partnership
Security is often handled as a separate service, which can leave gaps between systems, vendors, and response times. J&J Gaming approaches it differently by keeping everything connected and managed by a single team that understands how your establishment actually operates.
Because security is part of the partnership, not something layered on later, your setup works alongside your gaming floor from the start. That means fewer moving parts, faster response when something happens, and a system that supports both compliance and daily operations. We are committed to investing in our partner locations, as maintaining your gaming business is key to our mutual success.

J&J installs, services, and monitors your security equipment, so you are working with one team that knows your setup.
24/7 Service And Fast Response
Support is available around the clock, with a service team that responds quickly so issues do not sit unresolved during active hours.
Aligned With Illinois Gaming Requirements
Terminal operators in Illinois are permitted to provide security systems to licensed establishments, as outlined in the Illinois Gaming Board memo on Rule 350(b). As a licensed video gaming terminal operator, J&J builds its systems with that framework in mind, so your setup supports both compliance and day-to-day use.
Established Experience Since 1929
With decades of experience in route operations, J&J understands what it takes to keep locations running smoothly while meeting regulatory expectations.
Complimentary Security Assessments
J&J offers security assessments for partner locations, helping identify where coverage can be improved based on how your space is used.
FAQs About Gaming Establishment Security
Yes, they are. Licensed video gaming locations in Illinois are expected to have continuous surveillance covering the gaming area. With J&J Gaming, that requirement is already handled for you since cameras are included as part of the partnership at no charge.
J&J Gaming’s team keeps an eye on motion and alarm activity around the clock. If something is triggered, they review what is happening and can contact authorities if needed, so you are not the one dealing with it in the moment.
They can. While your gaming area is already covered, you can add cameras in places like entrances, behind the bar, or outside access points. It really comes down to how your space is set up and what areas you want visibility into.
No, you can keep what you already have. J&J can be added to your system so their team receives alerts, can view your gaming cameras, and help coordinate if something happens.
