Gambling Managers
Management
The floor has to stay staffed and within the rules: schedules, stations, and breaks are set, substitutes found when needed, and new workers trained and later evaluated. Cash moving to tables is tracked, with the paperwork that goes with it. House rules, game rules, and betting limits are explained; payout errors and other complaints are settled; suspected cheaters, including card counters, are removed. Knowing every game in the house, and the tricks people use on them, is part of the job, and the work typically follows shifts. Suits people who like watching a live floor, making quick calls, and leading a crew under house rules.
Typical education: High School Diploma or GED
