Internal Controls

Compliance

The policies, procedures, systems, and processes implemented by a casino to ensure compliance with applicable gaming laws, regulations, and internal standards. Internal controls in a casino context cover all aspects of operations including cage and cash handling, table games, slot machines, credit and markers, patron accounts, information technology, and data security. Gaming regulators worldwide mandate specific internal control requirements (such as the NIGC’s Minimum Internal Control Standards or state-specific requirements) that must be documented, followed, and regularly tested.

One entry from the Casino Industry Glossary — 1,157 terms written for surveillance, compliance and operations professionals rather than for players. Definitions describe industry usage; where a term carries a regulatory meaning, verify against the instrument that governs your jurisdiction.
