When I worked you had to turn in the bank after each day, if you were short it came out of the next paycheck. At the casino you had a small forgiveness before they would take out of your check but they might also fire you if came up short too often (I knew someone who worked at the mirage back then and they told me overages were also frowned on there). At the track overages were yours to keep.

One guy I worked with at Monmouth told me had years before worked at Garfen State and you only had to turn in your till at the end of the meet. He said many Tellers were thousands of dollars short with shortages increasing as putting a $1000 to show on a 2/5 who runs out doesn't always go right.

Like MJ I see many tellers betting at least here in the northeast.
The old trick is the teller doesn't clear his machine and you end up paying for his bet, I'm sure you have seen this before...
