Employers
Approximately 86,800 gaming dealers are employed in the United States. They work for casinos and other places where gaming is offered. All casinos that have table games employ dealers, so opportunities are good throughout the country wherever casinos are located.
While individuals may 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; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Chicagoland (Illinois and Indiana); Baltimore/Washington, DC; and New York City. Other regions host commercial and Native American gaming, both land-based and riverboat gaming facilities. Cruise ships offer additional opportunities.
Starting Out
Once dealers are trained, they typically get jobs in smaller, less prestigious casinos or are offered less popular shifts such as the overnight or graveyard shift to hone their skills. With some experience, dealers either search out jobs in larger, more prestigious casinos or are promoted to better shifts. Job listings are available on https://www.casinocareers.com.
