The main difference between a shill and a proposition player is that a shill is an employee of the cardroom or casino, while a proposition player is a player who is paid by the house. Shills are typically employed to help start a game or to fill out a table, and they typically play only with house money. Proposition players, on the other hand, are paid by the house, but they play with their own money. Additionally, shills are restricted to wagering chips or coins, while proposition players can wager whatever they choose. There are also restrictions on the number of shills and proposition players that can play in one game; usually, no more than a combination of two shills and proposition players may play in a card game
