A Career in Casino and Gambling

[ English ]

Casino betting has been expanding everywhere around the planet. Every year there are new casinos opening in old markets and fresh territories around the planet.

Often when most people think about choosing to work in the casino industry they inherently envision the dealers and casino personnel. It’s only natural to envision this way given that those individuals are the ones out front and in the public purvey. Interestingly though, the betting business is more than what you witness on the betting floor. Gaming has become an increasingly popular comfort activity, highlighting increases in both population and disposable income. Job growth is expected in guaranteed and expanding wagering areas, such as Las Vegas, Nevada, and Atlantic City, New Jersey, as well as in other States that seem likely to legitimize betting in the time ahead.

Like any business enterprise, casinos have workers that direct and oversee day-to-day tasks. Many tasks required of gaming managers, supervisors, and surveillance officers and investigators do not require involvement with casino games and patrons but in the scope of their work, they must be capable of overseeing both.

Gaming managers are in charge of the full management of a casino’s table games. They plan, organize, direct, control, and coordinate gaming operations within the casino; develop gaming standards; and pick, train, and schedule activities of gaming staff. Because their jobs are so variable, gaming managers must be quite knowledgeable about the games, deal effectively with staff and guests, and be able to cipher financial factors affecting casino elevation or decline. These assessment abilities include determining the P…L of table games and slot machines, understanding factors that are guiding economic growth in the United States of America and more.

Salaries may vary by establishment and locale. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stats show that full-time gaming managers got a median annual amount of $46,820 in 1999. The lowest ten percent earned less than $26,630, and the highest ten % earned approximately $96,610.

Gaming supervisors take charge of gaming operations and employees in an assigned area. Circulating among the game tables, they see that all stations and games are covered for each shift. It also is common for supervisors to interpret the casino’s operating laws for gamblers. Supervisors can also plan and arrange activities for guests staying in their casino hotels.

Gaming supervisors must have clear leadership qualities and A1 communication skills. They need these abilities both to supervise staff accurately and to greet members in order to promote return visits. Many casino supervisory staff have an associate or bachelor’s degree. Regardless of their educational background, however, almost all supervisors gain experience in other casino jobs before moving into supervisory positions because knowledge of games and casino operations is essential for these workers.
