I hope you feel good about him getting in serious trouble for his drawer being off, $100, which he likely had to either make up out-of-pocket or get written up/fired.

They don't get in trouble for this. Cashiers are bonded, insured against errors like this. It happens all the time, and it's part of the price of doing business for casinos. Some insurance company somewhere will eat that loss.

Everyone here should remember that when you're the recipient of a favorable pay-out error on the part of a casino employee, be it a cashier, a blackjack dealer, or whoever else. In the case of a table game, it will just get lumped in with the table hold (reducing it by whatever amount) and will never be discovered. In the case of a cashier or someone working the floor like a slot change person, the casino is aware humans make mistakes and they are insured against it. The chance that "you get someone fired" because you don't alert them to their pay-out error is virtually nil.

If this was true I'd get a job as a cashier at a casino tomorrow and retire rich in a year or two.

Try it. Enjoy the penitentiary. There's a difference between fraud and mistakes, and, among other things, they have different statistical signatures. It's easy to tell when people are dumping money to compatriots as opposed to making mistakes at an error rate commensurate with that of a competent human being.

If this is true then [censored] the casino. It`s owned by the government so consider it a tax rebate.

And about the poker... I`ve heard tourneys in Janurary anyone else hear anything?

I left under the idea that I was pulling one over on the casino. When I realized the truth of course I would never try to screw someone over like that. 100 is alot of money to most people and dont effect the quality of my life at all. Forget karma, its just clearly the right thing to do.

It's not.

You'd have to be a pretty scummy person to make someone lose their job over $100.

This is stupid.

Put the extra $100 on Black
If you win, give them $100.

If you lose, they got it back...they just didn't know.

it's funny how OP was expecting all sorts of "props" for this, and when he just got flamed he let himself be peer pressured into copping out and giving back the money.

It's definitely true in Nevada. I don't know about casinos in Canada or wherever else. In fact, you can't even get an unrestricted gaming license (the type needed for table games) in Nevada without having your cashiers be bonded. Generally speaking, other jurisdictions tend to copy Nevada gaming law in most areas, so I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case more universally than just in Nevada.

Try talking to a cage manager if you don't believe me. That's where I got my information. You'll see.

Beyond that, quit being so histrionic; a cashier isn't going to lose his job over a $100 mistake in any half-way respectable casino (one with a poker room, for instance).
