Our Approach to GamingGreat American has been a leader in the gaming industry since 1995. We offer a stable market with fair and comprehensive underwriting standards, competitive pricing and outstanding loss control and claims service.

Potential Gaming Industry Exposures

•Theft of property, cash or chips – Despite internal controls such as surveillance, casinos remain vulnerable to cheating at tables and fraud in the cage.

•Accounting – Embezzlement schemes can last several years before detection, resulting in an extended loss.

•Vendor fraud – Casinos deal with numerous vendors on a daily basis, from food caterers to hotel, restaurant and office suppliers.

•Computer fraud and funds transfer fraud – A casino has a tremendous amount of funds moving by wireless means. Today’s high-tech environment leaves casinos vulnerable to computer fraud and funds transfer fraud.

Kidnap,RansomandExtortion

Every year, thousands of people are kidnapped for ransom worldwide. Forced abductions can occur anywhere, any time: no one is immune. A kidnapping may well be the most traumatic event in the lives of victims, their family and their friends. The costs — physical, emotional, and economic — can be catastrophic.

All manufacturers are potentially vulnerable to a threat of product extortion. A threat of this kind could be economically disastrous for any business.

Great American Insurance Group provides specialized protection against crimes of kidnap and extortion, when a demand for ransom is a condition of negotiation. We have the ability to offer limits of liability up to $65,000,000. Customized coverage can be written for corporations and individuals. Infant Abduction coverage is also available for hospitals and daycares.

Security Guards

Security Guard businesses operate in a host of different environments, including retail operations, hospitals, offices and warehouses. Our policy can be tailored to address the specific exposures of each Insured. We also offer coverage on a contract need basis, when a customer requires the security guard company to carry fidelity coverage.

Check Cashers

Check cashers handle a significant amount of cash, checks, and money orders on a daily basis. Many are open twenty-four hours a day, which significantly increases the risk of loss. Fidelity/Crime coverage helps to protect these businesses from losses involving employee dishonesty, forgery and outside theft.
