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

It's not.

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

[/ QUOTE ]

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).

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.

this sort of thing costs people their job.

WTF sort of country do you folks live in that allows the employer to hold employees financially responsible for a miscount?

Here in Australia, it is illegal for employers to make those sort of rules. Someone paid a few dollars an hour is going to make a mistake, and that's a cost of business.

The employee shouldn't be made liable to pay it back - otherwise it would be necessary to have credit checks on your employees who handle large amounts of money (since they'd be supposedly liable if they miscounted a few k or something)

Actually if a casino employee did this in Australia they'd be fired on the spot for gross negligence.

If Casino Montreal is anything like Casino de Lac Leamy in Gatineau, and I'm sure it is since they're owned by the same company, it wouldn't have a poker room because of legality issues, and the casino isn't exactly the most morally sound one of its kind. I wouldn't put it past someone losing their job.
