Vault & Employee Cage Overview

The Vault and Employee Cage modules provide a comprehensive solution for managing, tracking, and reconciling all cash and chips within your venue. From main vault inventory to dealer banks and shift reconciliation, these interconnected modules handle every aspect of cage operations for efficient cash control and regulatory compliance.

What They Do

The Vault and Employee Cage modules serve as the financial control center for your venue's cash and chip inventory. The Vault module provides tools for maintaining accurate records of all venue currency and chips, tracking their distribution across different locations, and configuring operational settings. The Employee Cage module extends this functionality to individual cashier shifts, providing tools for bank issuance, fills/credits, and end-of-shift reconciliation.

Together, these modules create a complete closed-loop system for tracking all monetary assets from the main vault to the gaming floor and back, ensuring accurate accounting and proper controls at every stage.
