You're getting flamed by accounts below but they're largely wrong.
Most casinos rent their gaming equipment from IGT, who directly manage most of these systems. IGT also has a fairly robust security team, having worked with them back when I was still a PM in the space.
Organizations like Caesar's aren't the greatest security wise, but that's largely because they have low margins because they are primarily property holding companies that are operating Casino/Gaming that they rent out from vendors like IGT.
This has been changing after MGM, but I don't think I can discuss it deeply.
