Interesting Turn of Events - name issue
That has not happened to me, but I had a situation where all 5 of the employees (including the female employees) had the same name of "Jake" in an ice cream parlor. I feel like it was probably a joke, however, the report asks to list the name of all employees. I listed, "Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake and Jake." The report was accepted. It sounds like someone made a fake nametag at the casino. I hope your report is accepted.
yes, i can see how they might use a different name on the name tag, but the clincher for me was I also saw her employee card and it had a bar code...presumably official.
We'll see I guess lol.

I know that some of the cashiers, like at convenience stores, will just grab someone's old name tag and wear it when they don't have their name tag. I have seen one cashier, every time I go into the store, her name is something different. She has had at least 9 different tags.
Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.
It wasn't in a casino shop, it was a grocery shop, and I got paid for it with no problem. The store claimed that no one with that name or description worked at that store. I sent them what my notes said, and I also explained that the associate may not work at that store, he may have been borrowed from another store, I have spoken to him and dealt with him at a grocery store previously.
I worked in Las Vegas casinos for 16 years. It was SOP for the pit boss to grab a name tag from the podium stash and give it to a dealer to wear whenever they forgot theirs. I guess that gave me practice for remembering my alias name for the day, which is similar to remembering my alias name while I am on a home video shop.
I have seen the same as @ArkLaMissshopping. The manager at one of the stations I perform on the regular showed me the draw of extra nametags and said there is no reason to not have a nametag on at work. Even if they forgot theirs.
Casinos tend to have higher standards than other businesses, but I have noticed at various retail stores, not shops, that female employees turn their name badge that is inside a vinyl pouch the other way so that a blank insert is visible or clip it the opposite way for the same effect. It has to be by design with the intent to keep the pervs and creeps at bay. I saw this when I went to Walgreen's today.

LOL.. Next time, you see her you should ask.. What is your name..
I see that your name tag is different this time
I had a "kind of" similar issue, also at a casino. This particular MSC asks for a name and very brief description (gender/hair color). The editor said that there were two employees during that shift with the same name and vague description. She asked for MY description so they could check security tapes. I reluctantly complied, as I have nothing to hide and the report was truthful. And, I was on vacation and knew I would not be returning to that location. I later wondered what I would do if it was a place I regularly shopped. My conclusion--A) Before sharing their requested description of my hair and clothing I would ask if this would prohibit me from shopping there in the future and 
If my picture was shared with employees (a la Five guys) and it impacted performance, that's on them. What would YOU do?

There is a restaurant I shop few times a year. Half the employees have long straight black hair and are 5'1" or 5'2" age 18--20. So far they all have distinct names.
I, too, would ask if sharing MY description was necessary.

When I was doing marathon stations, at one station they all wore joke name tags and they were different every time I went there. I would put the name on the tag in and waited for a follow up but don't think I ever got one. Can't really remember too many of the names specifically but Capt. Crunch was one.
I've had "Grim Reaper" and "Oscar the Grouch" as cashiers at gas stations.
They swear they check cameras. Did they not see you lol.

Chevron pulled footage on me once. It was about 5 years ago on a shop in Carlsbad, CA. Neither cashier wore a name tag. They were both mid 20's, long brown hair and around 5'2". They got a great shot of me coming out of the hallway that led to the restroom. At least they know I really checked the restroom.
