Cage Cashiers

Work Environment

Cage cashiers work indoors in casinos and racinos (casinos paired with racetracks). As all casinos have cage cashiers, opportunities may exist wherever casinos are located. While the majority of casinos are land-based, there are many which are located on riverboat gaming facilities or cruise ship.

Cage cashiers are generally hourly employees who work shifts. Individuals may work the day shift, swing shift, evening shift, or even overnight. Shift hours may vary by facility. Most gaming establishments are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, thus employees often must work nights, weekends, and holidays.

The noise of the slot machines and the excitement of people winning create a unique environment. The noise level in the work environment is usually loud. While some casinos today host smoke-free areas, this is not always the case. In some casinos the environment may typically be smoky.
