There are many different forms of gambling such as land-based casinos, sports betting sites, online and mobile gambling. If you are someone who enjoys a thrill as well as playing games of chance, then a career in gambling is your paradise.
Making a living through games and gambling seems like a dream job, and there are indeed a host of perks as well as benefits that comes with it.
The most obvious way of having a career in gambling is to become a professional gambler. There is always potential of making a large sum of money and while doing so you could be enjoying the nightlife, carefree lifestyle of not having a 9 to 5 job, together with all the trappings of visiting lavish casinos and/or sporting events. We have all seen movies based on what goes on in Vegas, whether it may be films like Casino or The Hangover; which does give the audience a taste of what it is like to be in that exciting zone, where the action never seems to stop.
However, even those who are not able to wager or have the talent to gamble, such as customer support staff and dealers, can often walk away with a small fortune. The chips, wagers and cash tips make up a large share of a dealer’s income. Furthermore, most employees receive benefits packages on top of their hourly rate and tips. They receive benefits such as medical, dental, vision coverage and even a pension plan if they’ve been working for the casino between 6 months to a year. Employees also receive free meals from the restaurants in the casino while on duty and get a paid vacation, assuming they have accumulated a certain amount of hours.
There are some who have the opportunity to further their academic studies because certain casinos offer an education assistance program. They could also receive a full reimbursement, especially if what they have studied relates to their position and could increase their chance of growth within the company. This helps employees save a substantial amount of money as they have the real possibility of gaining an academic and/or professional qualification for free.
There are also many advantages of being a professional dealer. Many are able to become a dealer or croupier with basically very little qualifications and it is one job where experience counts for a lot. The way you conduct yourself and interact with others also determines the amount of tips you may receive. In fact, near enough everyone would be happy to be in a position where their earnings are not set and can only increase.
Therefore, if you are someone who does not like getting up in the early hours of the morning but rather enjoys staying up at night, then being a dealer is definitely the perfect job for you. Working in the gambling world is not for everyone, but for those who have an eye for detail, enjoys being in a social environment with lots going on, then it is definitely one of the best careers out there.
