A system for the detection of money laundering activities within a casino environment including a host casino computer network, a cashier client station running cashier client software in communication with said host casino computer network, and a plurality of gambling terminals each running video terminal (VT) client software in communication with said host casino computer network, the system comprising:
an application service provider (ASP) running ASP security software, said ASP maintaining a database comprising a plurality of predetermined transaction types each associated with a predetermined transaction profile associated with that transaction type; and
security software resident on each of said plurality of gambling terminals and each comprising executable program code for carrying out the steps of,
identifying a transaction on one of said gambling terminals by predetermined transaction type;
applying a predetermined ruleset configured for determining whether the transaction on one of said gambling terminals complies with the transaction profile associated with the identified transaction type, and determining that the transaction does not comply;
setting a flag indicating suspicious activity;
printing a voucher having a unique identifier, and transmitting that unique identifier to said host casino network security software;
whereby said host casino network security software prevents cash-out transactions to said voucher based on said identifier and transmits an alert to said cashier client stations to require positive identification and complete a suspicious activity report (SARC).
