The only way it could be discovered if they routinely check tapes of dealers and find the mistake. I never had heat when I left, but still cashed my chips later.

I've since returned on a different shift, without apparent incident.

How long should I wait to return to the same shift that I was overpaid?
If they did catch it, they would have approached you on whatever shift you showed up at. You're almost certainly safe. I recall an absolute monster mispay from an experienced dealer. If they had spotted it, I would have been approached before I left.

It occurred a week or do after a dealer "error" screwing at the same house. I came out on top.
