How much does a casino manager make?

Casino managers walk the gaming floor, check that dealers follow house rules, and watch for cheating or problems. They schedule and train staff, resolve guest complaints, and keep track of cash and game activity.

Did you know? Applicants for U.S. gambling-work licenses typically face an extensive background check and drug test, and the minimum age differs by state.

In the U.S., finish high school; some employers prefer college study in casino or hospitality management. Meet your state’s age and license rules, then build several years of casino experience, often moving from dealer to supervisor to manager.

School needed: High school plus some training

Good for people who like leading and selling and keeping things organized

Why does pay differ?

In the U.S., pay can differ with experience and responsibility: managing a whole shift is different from overseeing slots or table games. It also varies by location and employer type. Casinos run around the clock, so schedules can include nights, weekends, or holidays.
