Like the typical business place, casinos have workers that will guide and take charge of day-to-day operations. Quite a few tasks required of gaming managers, supervisors, and surveillance officers and investigators do not need interaction with casino games and gamblers but in the scope of their day to day tasks, they have to be quite capable of overseeing both.

Gaming managers are responsible for the full operation of a casino’s table games. They plan, develop, direct, control, and coordinate gaming operations within the casino; decide on gaming procedures; and pick, train, and schedule activities of gaming personnel. Because their daily tasks are so varied, gaming managers must be quite knowledgeable about the games, deal effectively with employees and members, and be able to analyze financial issues afflicting casino escalation or decline. These assessment abilities include checking the profit and loss of table games and slot machines, understanding changes that are prodding economic growth in the u.s.a. and more.

Salaries will vary by establishment and locale. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stats show that fulltime gaming managers earned a median annual salary of $46,820 in 1999. The lowest 10 % earned less than $26,630, and the highest ten percent earned just over $96,610.

Gaming supervisors take charge of gaming operations and workers in an assigned area. Circulating among the game tables, they see that all stations and games are attended to for each shift. It also is accepted for supervisors to interpret the casino’s operating principles for guests. Supervisors might also plan and arrange activities for guests staying in their casino hotels.

Gaming supervisors must have certain leadership qualities and excellent communication skills. They need these abilities both to manage staff effectively and to greet members in order to boost return visits. Most casino supervisory staff have an associate or bachelor’s degree. No matter their their educational background, however, almost all supervisors gain expertise in other gaming jobs before moving into supervisory desks because knowledge of games and casino operations is important for these workers.
