How do casinos keep track of the amount of chips in a dealer’s care at a table to make sure the dealer isn’t pocketing them or paying out too much?

463 views

I used to think it was some kind of process like a cashier till where the dealer would pick up a tray with X amount of chips, and then have to turn it in where everything is counted and reconciled somehow.

But I saw in a movie (never been to a casino myself to gamble) where one dealer would just walk up and tag-out another dealer and take over their spot. It made me wonder how everything was accounted for.

What’s to keep a dealer from slipping an extra $500 chip every once in awhile to their buddies?

To piggy back off of the OP question. Since everyone watches everyone, are there processes or hardware in place that watch, let’s say a pit boss, that they’re not aware of? Maybe dealers are aware of all these hidden cameras, but then the pit bosses have extra cameras that dealers don’t know about but then a manager that has mics around the pit bosses that they aren’t aware of.

I was playing with big stacks of 5 on roulette and won playing outside . The dealer slid over a stack of 5s and one chip was a100 chip. I put it in my pocket immediately. No one said anything. Just lucky i guess.

My question is more about what happens to dealers who do try to cheat. It must happen and they must get caught all the time. What do the casinos do about it when they catch somebody?

With all the talk about camera watching and checking in and out.
Whats stopping a dealer from pocketting a chip along with a tip given by a player?

Would that be possible?
