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?

I worked at a casino for a few years. They have cameras covering every angle and they have pit bosses also watching in person. I’ve seen a few dealers escorted out in handcuffs for stealing from the casino.
Something to remember is that a casino license is a license to mint money. It’s a big deal to steal from a casino and it comes with a hefty prison sentence. The casinos have the money to make sure the thieves get the maximum possible sentence and they make sure that happens it’s alot cheaper to get one person in prison for 25 years than it is to have every dealer stealing from you.

In Vegas, everybody’s gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The pit bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the pit bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I’m watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all.

The answer to this question is that casinos have a very strict system of accountability in place to ensure that all transactions are tracked and accounted for. This includes having dealers count out chips at the beginning and end of their shift, having surveillance cameras to monitor transactions, and having periodic audits of chips and money. Additionally, casinos have very strict rules and regulations that dealers must adhere to, including not allowing them to give out chips to their friends.
Or what’s to keep a dealer from pocketing a chip here or there without anyone noticing? The answer is that casinos have a very rigorous system of checks and balances in place to prevent any kind of theft or fraud. All chips are counted and reconciled at the end of each shift, and all chip transactions are monitored and recorded. Dealers are also subject to random chip counts throughout their shifts. If any discrepancies are found, the casino will investigate and take appropriate action. Additionally, all chips are marked with a unique serial number, making it easy to track them if they are stolen or misplaced.

As well as cameras, inspectors, pit bosses and managers, if a punter sees a dealer palming chips, they will say something. (A colleague of mine was caught out this way.) The way they see it, If you’ll steal from the casino, you’ll steal from them.
