Prop
Prop is short for proposition player. This is someone who is paid
by the house to play poker. However, the player plays with his
own money; the house merely pays him or her an hourly wage to
play poker in order to keep the games going. The difference between
a prop and a shill is that a shill plays poker with the house
money. Props are generally considered okay and a decent way to
earn a few extra dollars. However, shills are looked down upon,
and it is unheard of for a casino to employ shills.
