Employers
Every casino has a casino manager, so opportunities are fair throughout the country wherever casinos are located. Employment will be driven by the increased popularity of casinos and other gambling establishments. Additionally, according to 2023 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), states that do not currently have legalized gaming may allow new casinos to be built over the next decade in an effort to bring in more tax revenues. This would bring new jobs in the future.
While individuals my find employment in any casino in the world, the greatest number of positions will be located in areas where there is a large concentration of casinos. These areas include Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada; Biloxi, Louisiana; Atlantic City, New Jersey; and parts of California. Other regions hosting commercial and Indian gaming, both land-based and riverboat gaming facilities, and cruise ships offer additional opportunities.
Starting Out
Casino manager jobs are not entry-level positions. These are high-level jobs which require extensive experience in the gaming industry. Most individuals started out working as dealers and then obtained experience as floor persons, pit bosses, and shift bosses. It is often easier to obtain a job in a smaller casino and then after getting experience in position, applying for a similar job in a larger facility.
