Occupation
Casino dealer
Casino dealers run table games: dealing cards, spinning wheels, calculating payouts, and keeping the game to the rules. Accuracy and pace both matter, and dealers work under camera and supervisor observation throughout. Gaming staff are typically registered or licensed by a gaming regulator before they can work the floor.
