Runner

Other Table Games

A casino employee (traditionally female) who circulates through the casino floor, particularly in restaurants, bars, and lounge areas, to collect keno wagers from players and deliver winning payouts. Runners carry portable keno equipment including tickets, crayons, and cash trays. They enable players to participate in keno without having to visit the keno counter or lounge. Runner operations require careful controls to prevent theft, as runners handle cash and tickets outside the immediate supervision of the keno counter.
