BearcatGreg Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Being a long time casino card player, I was wondering what kind of job it is. I know the hours may not be the best, nights/weekends, etc. but overall what kind of experience am I looking at? What kind of money can I expect to make if I work maybe 25 hours a week? Location is Southeast Indiana. I would only be interested in table games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Depending on how good your legs are, you might make more as a coctail waitress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABearWithFurniture Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 One of the guys in our league, Viva Tequila, is a long time Texas Hold'em dealer and has even gotten his mug on some of the WSOP broadcasts...he only posts in our forum so you'd need to PM him for info...

Skilly Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I live in CT and one of the guys I play hockey with is a dealer at one of the indian casinos out here. The guy has been doing it for the last 5-7 years, and I guess he makes pretty decent money, but the stress and the BS he has to put up with are insane. They treat their employees like garbage, and they can do it because there is no union, and they always have a stack of applications ready to choose your replacement from.. Hopefully it's different in Indiana. I would just ask a lot of questions up front and make sure you know exactly what they will expect of you in terms of shiftwork, salary, time off, benefits, etc. Good luck.

Avernus Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 you have to have experience and also usually have to work there for some times... apparently it's not something you can just apply for.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatGreg Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 The prior two posts raise valid concerns. The Indiana casinos are not affiliated with the tribes. I would never work at one of those. I didn't like playing at them when i lived in Oregon; I can only imagine what working there would be like. Good advice on getting specifics on shifts, bennies, etc. As for the experience, these sites really stress customer service. I talked to a couple of pit bosses and they told me that if you have good customer service skills they will train you. Thanks everyone for the feedback. This would only be something that I would consider as a part time gig after retirement so I would only do it on my own terms. That will probably be a deal breaker, but hey I don't really need the job. I'm just looking for something to do that I have an interest in.

I tried becoming a dealer back in 2002, but they required experience or that you work your way up and I just wanted to deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
