Re: Question for Casino Employees .... (Gene?)
Mike, I don't know where you got your info. Casinos are a terrible place to pass bad bills. Number one, there is about a 90% chance we'll have a pretty good picture of you. We have three casinos, the two in Oklahoma rarely get any bad bills. The one in Kansas sees one or two a week. The validators on the machines are so good I've never seen a bad bill come through that way. It's always at the cage or tables. When I was a boxman I handled so many bills it just became second nature and it was by feel. Experienced BJ dealers will tell you the same thing. Twenty dollar bills are easily the most passed, but I've see $5's, $10's and believe or not even $1's. $100's are second but get more attention during transactions. I've never seen a bad $50. We get very few in soft count, they must call my office(Gaming Commission) when they get one, and it's been a couple of months since that happened. Regards, Jim
