canteen/cafeteria costs
From my experience with texts relating to Chilean mining, "casino" refers to a type of dining hall (canteen or cafeteria) for workers provided by employers at the workplace or site.

Mess bill (canteen bill)
Yes, I know, often related to the military and armed services, but could work in the context here;
I agree with Robert's initial assessment;

: A mess bill is what you as the customer would receive and pay, which is not the same as the cost to the company of providing the service

canteen tab or cafeteria tab
The word “tab” may work here. When someone has an amount of money charged to a bar or restaurant, they open a “tab”.
Example sentence:
I didn’t have my wallet, so the bartender started a tab for me.
