How and where to find casino jobs
The Internet is a good starting place if you have casino work experience or have done casino training. Otherwise attend a casino training school in order to enhance your employment opportunities. You need to be fluent in English. If you have no experience or training at all, contact one of the employment agencies or the Human Resources divisions at the casinos. Don't worry if you start at the bottom or do an unrelated job such as cleaning.
The older casinos and hotels are constantly looking for personnel because their staff departs for employment in the newer casinos. Casinos that have just opened are also hiring staff. They often hire more than what they need and retrench most after three months. They will keep you if they find that you fit in with their policies and culture. Many of the positions entail union membership except for dealers, writers, cashiers, security and office staff.
As soon as you start work at a casino, the Human Resources division will assist you in obtaining a work permit called the Sheriff's card from the Metro police offices. If you are serving alcohol you will also need a card to handle or sell liquor. The same applies for casino jobs that entail food handling.
Managers and floor supervisors earn the most followed by baccarat, poker, and craps dealers. The earnings range from $40 to $270 in tokes a day depending on the location and pit. The dealers live mainly from their tips since their salaries are very low. The pit and slot waiters earn the most in tips after the dealers. Security personnel earn between $70 and $120 a day depending on location. Some casinos offer free medical aid while others levy $60 or more for medical insurance. There will be even more casino jobs in future because of the continued development of new casinos.

21 in Vegas and Atlantic City, though in many other states with Native American casinos the age is only 18 if the casino is located on reservation land. The boats along the Gulf, the Mississippi, and Florida are also 21 as far as I know - only the reservations can allow 18 year-olds to deal.
