To work as a casino gambling worker, you typically need to:

• have a high school diploma or equivalent;
• complete short-term, on-the-job training; and
• have a license.

Education after high school

No formal education is required beyond high school. Some professional-technical schools and two-year colleges offer courses for casino gambling workers.

Work experience

Gaming supervisors usually have one to five years of experience working in a casino. Experience as a dealer or as a slot attendant is good preparation.

On-the-job training

Casino gambling workers usually receive hands-on experience in the casino or in a mock casino. On the job, you learn to:

• run casino games or deal cards;
• operate a cash register;
• provide customer service; and
• understand casino policies.

Training may last up to one month. The length of training varies depending on the casino and the type of job.
