  2. They need a Private Security and Investigate Act and a Casino license

  3. They need a Private Security and Investigate Act and a Gaming Control Act license

  4. They need only need a Gaming Control Act, 1992 license as they only work in a Casino

The correct answer is: They need a Private Security and Investigate Act and a Gaming Control Act license

In Ontario, a security guard working at a casino would require two licenses. The first is a license under the Private Security and Investigative Services Act (PSISA). It is the provincial legislation that governs security guards, private investigators and similar roles in Ontario. This legislation ensures that anyone carrying out the responsibilities of a security guard or private investigator is properly trained and qualified. The second required license falls under the Gaming Control Act. This is necessary because security guards at casinos are often handling sensitive information related to gambling, and they may also be responsible for ensuring that all gambling activities occur in accordance with provincial regulations. The Gaming Control Act license enables the security guard to carry out their profession in a setting where gaming is the main activity, such as a casino. Thus, the correct answer for the licenses a security guard needs to work at a casino in Ontario are under the Private Security and Investigate Act and the Gaming Control Act.
