SAGSE Panama 2026 to Present an International Masterclass on Casino Fraud Prevention

June 3, 2026, at the Sortis Hotel Casino

As part of SAGSE Central America & Caribbean 2026, the organization confirmed the addition of an international masterclass specialized in casino security and fraud prevention, which will be one of the main highlights of the SAGSE Executive Summit on June 3 at the Sortis Hotel, Casino & Convention Center.

The session will be led by Vicente Altemir Gistau, a professional with more than 30 years of international experience in gaming control, operational security, and casino fraud detection, as well as a recognized expert in surveillance team (CCTV) training.

A Business-Oriented Approach

Unlike traditional theoretical panels, the proposal will be delivered in an intensive masterclass format, combining conceptual content with practical analysis of real-life cases.

The objective is to directly address the main threats currently affecting the daily operations of casinos across Latin America, in a context where fraud continues to evolve alongside the industry’s growth.

Structure in Two Modules

The activity will be divided into two stages:

• Theoretical Module, focused on the key pillars of the risk and security department, including gaming integrity, control of critical elements, operational procedures, and classification of cheating methods.
• Practical Module, based on the analysis of real fraud videos from table games, identification of new cheating techniques, and operational recommendations for prevention.

Between both modules, a networking session will take place, encouraging interaction among operators, security specialists, and technology providers.

Security as a Strategic Priority

SAGSE highlighted that the inclusion of this masterclass responds to a concrete need within the regional market.

“The growth of the industry comes with new challenges in terms of fraud prevention and operational control. This type of initiative allows the conversation to move to an operational level, with tools that can be applied in the real-world environment of casinos,” organizers stated.

The session will be primarily aimed at:

• casino operators
• security managers
• surveillance teams
• regulators
• technology providers

A Key Differentiator Within the Summit

The addition of this block further strengthens the positioning of the SAGSE Executive Summit Panama as a space where not only trends are discussed, but also concrete solutions for the industry are developed.

In an event characterized by its exclusive format and focus on decision-makers, this masterclass stands out as one of the most practical and high-value sessions within the agenda.
