The accounting department has three primary sections: the cashier's station, the count room, and the bookkeeping group. The cashier's station or cashier's window provides services to gamblers, changing money into gaming chips (or checks as they are called in some casinos) so that customers can gamble at the table games. They also exchange paper dollar bills for coins for play in the slot machines.

The count room is a secure, windowless room where the money collected from all table games and slot machines is counted. Careful records are kept of the money received from each slot machine and table game. This information is tracked by shift, so the casino management can identify what money was earned by each machine or table game during any given shift of any day or night. The

count room also collects the drop boxes and carefully counts the money in the boxes. A detailed record is made of the quantity and type of money in the box.

This careful counting of the cash helps management make decisions about a wide range of business issues. For example, with this information, management can identify the slot machines that are used the most and look for patterns to learn why customers prefer those machines. Management can also identify trends of business activity by observing the patterns of money produced by the individual slot machines and table games. This history is used to set expectations and to watch for deviations from those expectations. It is one method used to find threats to the security of particular games. When the volume of money produced by a machine or table game varies strongly from the history, it helps to alert management about possible theft or other problems. All of this is possible because of the detailed records kept by the count room.

The bookkeeping staff uses the information completed by the count room and the cage to prepare daily reports of business activity. This data is combined with information provided by the slot machine software about gambling activity used on the electronic cards held by the regular customers. Together, this information is used to create daily revenue statements.

Supporting both primary departments are several back of the house' departments. This includes the accounting department (which is comprised of the cashier's station, the count room, and the bookkeepers), the surveillance department, and the security department.
