Plush casino jobs

Wednesday 4 August 2010 | admin

There are folks who dream of one day becoming policemen, firemen, doctors or lawyers but there’s a whole other side to the employment spectrum which many are yet to uncover. It’s the gambling and entertainment world and it’s a thriving global enterprise. To be a part of something so dynamic, so hands on is a boon in itself. Players only see one side of these entertainment Meccas. But behind that highly polished veneer is a well-oiled machine that never sleeps. Becoming part and parcel of it is a real blessing – trust me, I know.

I started my career in one of the world’s most illustrious gambling kingdoms – The Palace of the Lost City in South Africa. This mega-structure is unlike anything you can ever imagine. It’s a bustling community of players from across southern Africa and indeed the rest of world – all coming together to lay their claim to untold millions. The resort employs tens of thousands of employees – much like the mega resorts of Las Vegas Nevada, Atlantic City New Jersey, Monte Carlo and the mega-structures of Singapore. These resorts collectively support millions of people and keep economies afloat in more ways than most thought possible.

What jobs can you expect to find in casinos?

Believe it or not your employment prospects in casinos are plentiful and you can expect as diverse a range of jobs as ever. Take these hot prospects for starters:

  • Anything in the catering business including: sous chef, chef de partie, head chef and cooks galore. If you want to bartend, serve or be a runner on tables these are your for the taking. Staff turnover rates are high.
  • Casino hosts, gaming managers, division managers, slots floor supervisors, cage managers, dealers, surveillance managers, security consultants, assistant managers, bellmen and much, much more.

You’ll find that whatever you decide upon, there is usually lots of room for advancement in this industry. Casinos usually encompass restaurants, clubs, bars, hotels, stores and even entertainment complexes like cinemas, IMAX theatres and beyond. Go wild!
