The Floor Is a Ledger
I have spent three decades ensuring that every dollar on the gaming floor can be accounted for, traced, and reconciled. The casino is not a place of chaos — it is one of the most rigorously controlled environments in commercial enterprise. Every chip issued, every drop counted, every variance logged creates an audit trail that must hold under scrutiny.
The discipline required to run a compliant floor is the same discipline I apply to my model railroad layouts: precision, patience, and respect for the system. A misplaced switch on the O-gauge layout causes a derailment at 3 AM. An unlogged $2 variance in the cage creates an exception report that cascades through three departments before morning shift.
What I Build Here
