The security agents working in casinos need to think clearly and swiftly under intense pressure. They may also be required to execute additional activities, such as conducting investigations into allegations of theft or fraud, addressing concerns about crowd management, or assisting with providing emergency medical services when required. 2015 was the year when Anton started his new job as a security officer at a casino in Stateline, Nevada.
