I work in a small-town casino as a cage cashier. Our location has no tables, only slots. I would be happy to answer questions about my job. I get to see a lot of strange things and strange people.

Do you have non-smoking areas or tables? Guests aren't allowed to smoke in front of the cage here. And I would guess that 50% of our players have addiction issues. It's the only thing to do in a lot of small towns. We have to provide pamphlets if they think they might have a problem. Most of what I do is cash in change that people scrape out of the floorboards of their car.

We have a lot of those, too. It's pretty obvious when they only spend a dollar at a time. Since your town is affluent, are we talking high class call girls?

Stormfang1502 posted:No, not at all. Not like lot lizards or anything but definitely not high class. We have plenty of lot lizards, but occasionally I'll see a $1000/night girl. I can always tell by looking at their shoes. But the working girls are almost always sober or passing for sober. They stay on their best behavior. One of my weirdest experiences was dealing with a woman who had taken Ambien before coming to the casino. She was tripping balls and leaving her purse in random places.

Holidays are by far our busiest days. People want to get away from their families. Christmas Season is our busiest season, because people have extra money. Our holidays themselves are floating. We don't get paid extra to work on holidays, but I have six to move around and use whenever I see fit. I get paid regular wage minus tips when I take a holiday.

thrakkorzog posted:I didn't see this answered, and I hate to repeat myself, but is there a sort of promotion plan to advance as a table dealer? Generally, with enough experience, you can transfer to any department and position you're eligible for. From dealer, you can become a floor supervisor or pit boss or department supervisor/manager. However, you won't make as much money in those positions. In our locations with table games, the dealers make more money than anyone else, GM excluded. Still, you can get better hours or a chair, so a lot of people do transfer to higher positions with lower pay. The perks (a chair) can be very nice. Bonus: I had a guest ask for old bills, because the new ones have a blue security strip. That's how Obama tracks you with his radar, apparently. This is a widely held belief.
