Data by type of work
Our casino employment findings come predominantly from the US. It’s Vegas that has to be the aim for any aspiring dealer, so get used to thinking in dollars when it comes to employment in a casino. The salaries we’ve quoted come from a range of job sites so, while there will be variance, our data is currently accurate.
Casino Employment Opportunities by Highest to Lowest Paid
It is understandable that the salary on offer will be a major consideration when looking for employment in a casino. To help you compare the range of salaries expected in different casino jobs, we’ve ordered them from highest to lowest paid.
The position of casino owner is predictably the one that leads the way. It will likely take years of experience and effort, plus a fair amount of business nous and acumen, to reach this level and there are only a few casino employment opportunities available at this level. Still, there is no harm in being ambitious and the potential financial rewards are evident.
At the opposite end of the scale are dealers for poker, roulette and blackjack. There will be a far greater quantity of casino jobs at this level. Do consider that the wage quoted does not factor in tips that you may receive while at the table, so there is certainly the opportunity to increase the amount you’ll receive to a more attractive figure. There is also a unique buzz associated with real money casino tables that cannot easily be translated into a numerical value.
Comparing Casino Employment by Gender
We have already seen that there is a real range of casino job opportunities for every type of person. However digging deeper reveals some stark differences when it comes to gender. Technicians and casino investigator roles have tended to be male dominated, with approximately 80% of jobs in these areas occupied by men. By contrast, over three quarters of the waiters in casinos were found to be female.
These findings shouldn’t be seen as off putting if you’re attracted to a casino job where you’d be in the minority. Most casinos would be delighted to balance up the numbers somewhat and so the opportunity of breaking into the respective areas may in fact be far higher than it appears.
Reporting Flowchart for Casino Jobs
The reporting lines can at times be blurry in any large organization. The CEO has ultimate responsibility but each individual casino can have its own variation on the exact structure beyond that. Our flowchart tries to iron out any confusion to help you can track the path to the casino job of your choice.
