Part II: Casino Operations · Surveillance & Security

Cage Coverage

Operations

The continuous surveillance monitoring of all casino cage transactions and activities, including chip redemptions, cash exchanges, fill and credit transactions, and vault access. Regulatory jurisdictions universally mandate dedicated camera coverage of cage areas with sufficient clarity to identify employees, patrons, chip values, and paperwork involved in each transaction. Surveillance operators actively monitor cage coverage cameras to detect theft, fraud, procedural violations, and suspicious financial transactions.

In practice

Nevada Regulation 5 requires dedicated cage coverage cameras with sufficient clarity to identify chip values and amounts on fill and credit slips.
