What is a Gambling Cage Worker?

Gambling Cage Workers, also known as casino cage cashiers, are responsible for managing the financial transactions that occur within a casino or gambling establishment. Their primary duties include handling cash and chips, processing monetary exchanges for patrons, issuing and redeeming gaming chips, and ensuring the security and accuracy of all transactions. These workers operate the gambling cage, which is the cash handling area of the casino, akin to a bank's teller station, where they assist customers by providing cash for chips and handling payouts from winnings. They also perform routine accounting tasks, maintain records of financial transactions, and ensure compliance with gaming regulations. With a strong emphasis on customer service, Gambling Cage Workers must interact with guests to address inquiries and resolve issues, all while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail in a fast-paced environment.
