Gaming reconciliation is the most complex area of daily venue operations — and the area where most variances originate. In TakeSheet, gaming reconciliation is structured across several dedicated modules, each covering a specific component of your gaming operation. Together, these modules bring every element of gaming revenue and cash movement into one place, giving your team a complete and verified picture of the day's gaming position.
The Gaming Modules
TakeSheet's gaming reconciliation is broken down into the following modules:
Poker Machine Clearance — Reconciles the cash clearance from each individual EGM against the theoretical cash position.
CRT (Cash Redemption Terminal) — Reconciles each self-service cash redemption terminal including note cassettes, coin hoppers, note stackers, reject stackers, payouts and short pays.
AutoPay — Reconciles staff-operated cash redemption terminals using the same process as the CRT module.
ATM — Reconciles ATM cash movements including note cassettes, payouts and where applicable TAB withdrawals and deposits.
Cash Desk — Brings all gaming elements together into a single consolidated reconciliation, calculating both theoretical and actual gaming profit and surfacing the overall gaming variance for the trading period.
Prize Payments — Captures and records significant prize payments made by cheque or EFT, including all customer identification, machine details, payment information and supporting documentation required for AML and KYC compliance.
Auto-Population via Integration
Where your venue has an active gaming platform integration, certain figures across the gaming modules will be auto-populated directly from the gaming system. These fields are indicated by a blue chain link icon. If data is not populating correctly or needs to be overridden, the user can click the chain link icon to switch to manual input and enter the figure directly.
If your venue does not have a gaming platform integration, figures will need to be entered manually from your gaming system reports. Refer to the relevant gaming platform article in the help centre for guidance on which reports to use and where to find each figure.
The Goal of Gaming Reconciliation
The goal across all gaming modules is the same as every other area of TakeSheet — to confirm that the actual cash position matches the theoretical position, and to identify, document and resolve any variances before the trading period is closed. Given the volume and complexity of gaming transactions, completing gaming reconciliation accurately and consistently every trading period is one of the most important things your team can do to protect revenue and maintain compliance.
