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?

The casino has cameras watching every table, usually from a variety of angles. Further, with high denomination chips ($100.00 and up, for sure), they have an RFID chip embedded in them, which is also tracked via electronics within the table. Finally, the act of passing chips to a player, whether in making change, or paying out a winning play, is a rigidly controlled process that dealers MUST follow, or face discipline from their employer.
So, any effort to “slip a high denomination” chip to an accomplice would be caught by one or more of these security procedures. And this does not even consider methods that I, as a casual player, am aware of.
