Advancement Prospects

Advancement often comes to employees who demonstrate professionalism, have self-confidence, and establish good work records. Part-time employees may be offered full-time positions as slot cashiers or keno runners, who may advance to become cage cashiers or keno writers. Dealers generally begin at minimum wager tables and advance to tables featuring higher stakes as they gain experience and sharpen their skills.

Most supervisory positions require additional education and training as well as experience in the casino. Positions such as executive casino host, casino manager, or director of table games, require leadership, managerial skills, and keen perception. Experienced supervisors with advanced education can move into management positions in other fields such as hospitality or tourism. Another option is to become a casino games trainer.
