Casino Managers

Work Environment

Casino managers work indoors in casinos and racinos (casinos paired with racetracks). As all casinos employ casino managers, opportunities may exist wherever casinos are located. While the majority of casinos are land-based, there are many which are located on riverboat gaming facilities or cruise ships.

Casino managers are salaried employees. As most gaming establishments are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, casino managers may work nights, weekends, and holidays.

The noise of the slot machines and excitement of people winning create a unique environment. The noise level in the work environment is usually loud. The gaming area often has bright, flashing lights to draw attention to specific games. While casinos today host smoke-free facilities, some may still permit smoking in designated areas. In these areas, the environment may typically be smoky, which exposes individuals to secondhand smoke from cigarettes, cigars, or pipes.
