Casinos have been tracking you for a while now. Think of how many cameras are around you at any given moment.

When the first casino in Atlantic City was built it came with the cameras shown in that video, in 1977-78 when it opened. I worked in that casino at that time and the cameras were common knowledge.

I believe they were already standard retrofit in Las Vegas years before that.

I think the movie is a great movie, and accurate in a certain way, but if you tried to timeline anything using that movie, it could get confusing.
