What work is there ?To work in the Cruise Ship Casino - any work - you must be over 21 years of age.At its core, the casino industry is just like every other industry on the planet. The basic economic model of supply and demand is on full display with casinos and gambling. People want to enjoy their games in a safe, comfortable environment, and many suppliers work hard to bring that to fruition. And just like every product that needs consumers, a staff of workers is required to ensure the product is always the best it can be. Many of us are well aware of a few of the most popular casino jobs. You have for instance: - blackjack dealers, - pit bosses and, - security guards. But it takes a lot more than that to keep casinos functioning properly. Even the lowest guy on the maintenance staff's totem pole plays a key roll in the presentation and functionality of a casino. Cruise Casino Gaming CrewIf you're thinking of applying for a casino position, there are plenty of choices.First, you have gaming dealers, working in blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and more. On-shore casinos might employ hundreds if not thousands of gaming dealers. The salary options are on the lower end of the spectrum, but a dealer stands to earn double their salary in tips alone. On a ship due to the purely vacation gambling, it might be even more. In order to be a game dealer, you have to be well aware of your surroundings at all times. Even though you'll have security around to check for cheaters, you also need to possess a keen eye. Your mediation skills and math skills must be second to none. Even on cruise ships casinos are rife with people trying to earn a buck the shady way. Knowing who bet what and who owes what is a must. The responsibility falls on your shoulders as a dealer. Security is High PriorityYou also have the surveillance officers. "Security guards", as they're known as, do more than stand on the floor. As a surveillance officer, you're also in charge of monitoring the video software. Most surveillance positions require classroom training or even a license. As such, this position pays more than the aforementioned gaming dealer. Surveillance officers average around 30k annually ( US ). Benefits are dependent on the employer.Security guards aren't bouncers. Your job isn't to locate a cheater and cattle prod them. You must defuse situations without creating a panic. For your safety, as well as for the safety of others, it's vital to never cause a scene. An out-of-control casino floor is a nightmare. There usually aren't issues related to crowd control, on cruise ships the main task usually is to delicately deal with too drunk guests. Anyway it is more like what the employers might expect - where the most troubles could arise - be it tipsy vacationers requiring assistance or stag parties going too wild. |
