Volunteer roles include:

General Manager or Alternate General Manager

• Your role involves oversight of all functions performed in the cash cage.
• You are assisted directly by the Cash Cage Advisor.
• You monitor cashier payouts to patrons.
• You assume the Banker’s role when he or she is out of the room on break.
• You oversee the counting of cash and chips at opening, shift change, and closing of the casino day.

• You consult with the Advisor and casino Games Manager about any other issues, as required.

Banker

• You control the main Cash Cage floats of chips and cash.

• You are busiest during opening, volunteer shift changes, and closing of casino.
• You provide cash to cashiers as needed, and redeem chips from cashiers as needed.

• You will be required to follow defined pay out procedures that you will learn at the casino.
• You have your own float -- you do not share your cash/chip float with anybody.

• You use a computer terminal for all transactions. Computer skills are helpful. You don’t handle cash.
