Gaming and sports book writers and runners take bets on sporting events, and run games such as bingo and keno.
Dealers also calculate and pay out winning bets, and collect when players lose. Dealers explain game rules, announce each player’s moves, and cue players’ turns. Gaming dealers run table games such as craps, blackjack, and roulette. They explain house rules, ensure payouts are correct, and call security staff when needed. They circulate among the tables and slot machines to make sure everything runs smoothly. Gaming managers and supervisors direct and oversee gaming operations and staff. Gaming services workers need honesty, integrity, and the ability to stay calm while serving customers in the sometimes frantic environment of gambling establishments.
The excitement and fun of betting at the racetrack or in a casino relies on knowing gaming services workers are maintaining the house rules.
