Employers
Every casino with table games has pit bosses, so opportunities are available wherever casinos are located. 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 host commercial and Native American gaming, both land based and riverboat gaming facilities. Cruise ships offer additional opportunities.
Starting Out
Extensive experience in the gaming industry, specifically at table games is necessary to get a job as a pit boss. Prior to their current position as a pit boss, most individuals started out working as dealers. After obtaining some experience they became floorpersons or held other supervisory positions. It is often easier to obtain a job in a smaller casino and then after getting experience, apply for a similar job in a larger facility. Many casinos offer job fairs so individuals can learn more about careers in the gaming field.
