Like the typical business establishment, casinos have workers that will guide and administer day-to-day goings. Many job tasks of gaming managers, supervisors, and surveillance officers and investigators do not require interaction with casino games and bettors but in the scope of their work, they have to be quite capable of covering both.
Gaming managers are in charge of the full operation of a casino’s table games. They plan, assemble, direct, control, and coordinate gaming operations within the casino; devise gaming standards; and choose, train, and arrange activities of gaming employees. Because their jobs are so varied, gaming managers must be quite knowledgeable about the games, deal effectively with employees and clients, and be able to analyze financial matters impacting casino expansion or decline. These assessment abilities include determining the profit and loss of table games and slot machines, knowing changes that are pushing economic growth in the u.s.a. and so on.
Salaries vary by establishment and locale. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) figures show that fulltime gaming managers earned a median annual amount of $46,820 in 1999. The lowest 10 per cent earned less than $26,630, and the highest ten percent earned more than $96,610.
Gaming supervisors oversee gaming operations and workers in an assigned area. Circulating among the tables, they make sure that all stations and games are covered for each shift. It also is typical for supervisors to interpret the casino’s operating rules for players. Supervisors may also plan and arrange activities for guests staying in their casino hotels.
Gaming supervisors must have certain leadership qualities and A1 communication skills. They need these tactics both to supervise workers efficiently and to greet gamblers in order to boost return visits. Many casino supervisory staff have an associate or bachelor’s degree. Despite their educational background, however, almost all supervisors gain expertise in other casino jobs before moving into supervisory positions because knowledge of games and casino operations is important for these workers.
