eConnect’s “eClear” offers fast, contactless health screening for casino guests
Casinos and poker rooms may soon have a high-tech solution to streamline health and safety protocols — especially when it comes to temperature checks. eConnect, Inc. has introduced eClear, a contact-free, thermal imaging device designed to make quick and accurate temperature readings as guests enter the premises.
“It has been a very tough time for the hospitality industry,” said Henry Valentino, CEO of eConnect, in a press release.
“We are learning about the new best practices and standards being set forth throughout businesses around the country, and eClear will help everyone get back to business.”
The power of eClear lies in its simplicity: in a matter of seconds, it performs a thermal scan, checks for mask compliance, and uses facial recognition to match and grant access — all without the need for physical contact or assistance from staff.
How It Works
-
Thermal Imaging for real-time temperature checks
-
Mask Detection to ensure guests follow safety protocols
-
Facial Recognition to verify identities or flag banned individuals
-
Aggregate Counting to track foot traffic in and out of the venue
The system is designed for flexibility — it can be permanently installed at entry points or temporarily set up on a tripod for events or peak times. In a post-COVID world where public safety and convenience go hand in hand, eClear offers a smart solution to an ongoing challenge.
More Than Just a Thermometer
While the temperature check is its core feature, eClear’s broader capabilities position it as an essential tool for crowd management and VIP recognition. It can discreetly notify staff of high-value customers, or quietly identify barred individuals, even if they’re wearing a mask.
As Las Vegas casinos work to reopen and compete for visitors, the last thing they want is a bottleneck at the entrance. With solutions like eClear, temperature checks no longer need to slow down the action on the casino floor or at the poker tables.
And this is just one piece of the larger puzzle — poker rooms are also spacing out slot machines, reducing table capacity, and implementing more stringent hygiene protocols in a collective effort to keep players and staff safe.
