In some casinos, cage cashier is an entry-level position. In others, the casino may prefer that individuals have experience in prior positions as cashiers in other industries, bank tellers, or handling some other types of financial transactions.
Cage cashiers deal with large amounts of money, and it is essential that they be good at math and able to count money accurately. Bookkeeping skills are also helpful. Record-keeping is often done by computer, so computer skills are a must. Excellent customer service skills are mandatory in every area of a casino, and the cage is no exception.
Individuals should be detail oriented with good problem-solving skills and able to work independently. Solid communication skills are required. The ability to speak a second language, while not required, may give one applicant an edge over another.
