Situated on every casino roulette game is a cash box or otherwise known as the drop box. This is a steel box that is locked and situated under the table inside another steel box. It has a slot in the top that coincides with the slot in the table top and it is into this slot that any money goes from punters who have exchanged their cash for chips. The cash gets into the box by way of a plastic plunger that is not quite as wide as the slot itself and with an opaque handle.
The cash box has a locking mechanism attached to it which gets reset when the box is emptied during the count (procedure that is usually done at the end of a shift when all the cash is counted and logged) at the end of the shift. So to underline what we have here, we have a steel box situated inside another slightly larger steel box with two slots that marry up with each other. But sometimes problems arise with those two slots not quite being lined up with each other.
It is a common occurrence for cash to lodge in the actual drop box flap after it has been plunged by the dealer. This happens whenever the slots do not line up properly but it can also be manipulated as well. Let us say that a punter has just bought in for twenty pounds worth of chips with a twenty pound note. What the dealer should do in order to try and make a neat clean drop should be to place the note across the slot in such a way so that the slot runs directly across the middle of the note.
Ninety nine times out a hundred when this is done, the note will drop cleanly into the cash box. But sometimes it will get lodged in the cash box lid but underneath the roulette table surface itself and so out of sight of the punters. But not placing the note accurately across the drop box slot will increase the frequency of this event happening tremendously. If the dealer knows full well that they are on the count at the end of the shift then they can plan for this in advance.
The croupiers will be informed at the start of the shift or close to the start if they are on the count or not and can prepare for the move. When the cash box is removed from the steel case that holds it then quite often there will be notes protruding from the slot which can easily be pulled out by anyone that is in possession of the box at that time. At the end of the shift, the casino is devoid of punters and most of the staff have left the building so the number of people who can physically see you has been greatly diminished. Do keep a sharp look out for more casino cheating scams in future parts to this series.
