Casinos have had sophisticated facial recognition software and they
may know a lot more about you than you think.

They don't know who "you" are unless and until you provide some
form of identification -- rent a room, use a credit card, etc.
Until then, you're just pixels on a display!

You are pixels in the computer and the computer will recognize you.

Yes. But if I don't "reappear", they've lost track of me (my identity)
unless I have provided them with a persistent credential.

E.g., I track the occupants in this house. But, I (machine) don't
know who they are other than "occupant 1", "occupant 2", etc.
I could have the machine address me as "Benevolent Overlord",
"Tyranical Despot", or any other name and it wouldn't be any wiser!

There is a lot of facial recognition software out there even though
people don't talk about it much.
