The most costly scam in the slot department happens once again!

It was reported in the news today a Las Vegas casino was taken for more than $1,000,000 from a slot floor person punching in fake jackpots.  This is the 3 occurrence in the past year where a slot floor person has gotten away with this scam for more than a million dollars before getting caught.

For 8 years now I have been doing training and consulting in the casino industry.  I have been teaching since day one this is the most costly threat the slot department faces. I go into detail how it works and how to prevent it in class, and here we are with another headline story.  We can blame surveillance, we can blame the employee, and we can point the finger at a department manager or casino manager because someone has to be held accountable for such a large loss.  The reality is no matter who becomes the fall-guy (or gal); many people dropped the ball which allowed it to happen in the first place.
