Like I always say "The casinos trust everyone except their staff and their customers".

When I worked for Harrahs some years back as a Swing Shift Supervisor for Electronics Maintenance, the joke among employees was that only half of the cameras watched the customers.  The other half watched the employees.  It was actually no joke, but true.  When a employee was caught stealing or cheating, there was usually always a second person involved, usually a customer.  The casino would ALWAYS prosecute the employee first and strike a deal with the other party to testify against him.  Having the job I did, I had access to the Observation Room with all their surveillance equipment.  Casino customers have no idea of the things that go on in a casino that are caught on camera.  Some are very funny and some are just gross.  The Observation Room in any casino is a world unto itself and only a very few top employees know who the people in that room are and the observers on the floor.  With the 10 people I had working the swing shift, I was the only one authorized to enter that room.  I would also say that 95% of all employees did not even know where the room was.  Casinos do not like to talk much about the surveillance that goes on in a casino because a lot of people think of it as Big Brother watching your every move.  They can't see everywhere at once all the time, but trust me, they are watching.



 
It seems like it was very easy to do this sort of skim (though he was caught). I would think he would need an accomplice since usually two people hand out the w2s -- though it sounds like he reissued one with a different address? Casinos like Caesars could be vulnerable to this since they often handwrite a pay slip on a small pad, then mail out the w2 later. Though it isn't really clear if he was just pocketing the 30% that should have gone to the government or changing a foreign person into a US citizen on paperwork with a false social security number.
