Blackjack dealer charged with cheating

Not exactly a brilliant move. Short term gains for potentially long term issues. They watch the dealers closer than they watch the players so surely the dealer was aware of that. Did he think the EIS would be complacent enough that he would get away with it? Obviously whatever he did and however he did it was performed with the grace of a drowning donkey and the EIS caught on in a hurry. Six weeks of dealer school right down the tubes! Good luck on ever getting another casino job of any kind I would guess while you're at it. A dealer friend of mine got fired on a minor little piss someone off thing, so I guess you are in deep doo doo with them if you get caught cheating which is a considerably more damning than pissing off one of the bosses. People that commit acts of theft on an employer run risk of jeopardizing their long term employment opportunities usually for a ridiculously small sum compared to what is lost in long term employability... People will do stupid things at times!

Stealing from work is one of the worst decisions for money a person can make , imo - not just from getting caught , but even from a financial standpoint.

An item a person steals would have to be incredible value for it to be remotely close to "worth the risk" --- as in: multiple years of paychecks.
Plus the risk of jail and/or prison is always looming for this.

Example of cost breakdown , in a real-life scenario: there was this lady that kept stealing garbage bags from the last place I worked ... one of the girls I worked with saw it and told human resources because it was so blatant. Now the risk has been realized.
1) I believe this lady made about $1200-1500 a month or so. let''s go with 1500 for this example.
2) And she had been at this job about 3 years so far, so they obviously liked her.
3) I don't know how this story ends , but rolls of garbage bags are a few dollars.
4) She might have been planning on staying at this job for 3 more years at least . Assuming there was 100 garbage bags in her purse when she left that day , and is being let go at this point or soon.
At a $54,000 risk
The " reward " is free garbage bags (and a S--- reputation around town)
If she ends up fired, and can't get hired again , she has the most expensive set of garbage bags in the entire world , at a whopping $540 dollars a piece! (guessing she took a hundred that day)
You can basically more than tripple that , if she planned on another 10 years there , lets say 9 for simplicity sake,
And each time she throws out the trash , it's $1620.
