What They Do

Gaming cage workers handle all the financial transactions that keep a casino running smoothly. They work from a secured area called "the cage," where they exchange cash for gaming chips, process credit applications, and verify funds for players who want to cash checks or access their casino credit accounts. Throughout their shift, they count large amounts of money, maintain detailed records of every transaction, and ensure that all financial activity balances correctly at the end of the day. They also sell chips and tokens to floor staff who work directly with players at gaming tables.
