Read the full guide
Dealers run table games like blackjack, poker and roulette. Floor supervisors (pit bosses) watch the tables and settle disputes. Sports book writers take bets, change persons and booth cashiers make change, and cage workers count and track all the money. Surveillance officers and investigators watch cameras for cheating and theft. Gaming managers run whole departments. Casinos are open around the clock, so nights, weekends and holidays are normal.
