Gambling Change Persons and Booth Cashiers
Sales and Related
Work happens at a cage or a booth on the gaming floor, exchanging money, chips, tickets, or credit and making change for players. Drawers get counted and audited; every exchange and authorization is recorded; and the day's totals are reconciled so the books balance. IDs are checked to confirm players are old enough, and cage security rules have to be followed. A booth post may include giving change persons their money bank at the start of a shift. It suits people who like precise cash handling under security rules and can stay accurate while serving patrons.
