Working as a casino dealer can be a prestigious and high-paying profession. It is an interesting, dynamic, and truly unique job that combines mathematical precision, showmanship, and incredible stress resilience.
While the financial rewards can be great, the role also entails working grueling night shifts and dealing with people who are emotional, angry, or deeply upset over losing money.
So, I’d like to ask the community: would you ever consider becoming a casino dealer? What do you think are the biggest pros and cons?

I’d consider it, but dealing with angry players all night sounds like the toughest part.
 
No I would never consider becoming a casino dealer. This is a very stressful job and after a few times you maybe already get annoyed about your customers.
 
I think it would be a very boring job, and it doesn't pay well, I have no idea why the OP thinks that it's a prestigious job or that it pays well.

They get tipped every time a pot is won, that's every hand 😵

I think it’s a tough job, especially when it comes to dealing with overly emotional or drunk players. I don’t think just anyone could handle that easily. Although, I suppose it all depends on the pay.

Maybe in the US, we don't do tipping here. Dealers are paid around $38 per hour here. You can tip if you want to and I've seen some people do it, I'd tip a couple of bucks on a huge pot win, but it wouldn't be automatic.

Yes, here tipping is freakin crazy, but giving a couple bucks with a win isn't bad.
In restaurants, servers will chase you down

Not in New Zealand. We have a minimum livable wage. casinos would be fined and probably lose their licence if they paid 1 cent under the minimum wage.
That's why New Zealanders have a lousy reputation as poor tippers overseas. It's something we don't usually do.

I guess the pay depends a lot on the casino and tips. The job might be more rewarding in some places than others.

Thought I'd better check with that Google Ai, who is just a know-it-all.

In New Zealand, tipping casino dealers is legally prohibited under the country's gambling regulations, meaning staff cannot accept chips or cash tips at the tables. This system differs significantly from North American casinos, where tips often make up the bulk of a dealer's income. In New Zealand, casino employees are paid a regular hourly wage, and players are expected to pocket 100% of their winnings.

No, you cannot tip casino dealers at Australian casinos. In Australia, it is actually forbidden and illegal for croupiers and table dealers to accept tips or gratuities of any kind. Trying to tip a dealer or placing a bet on their behalf can result in the dealer losing their job, and it may get you reprimanded by casino security.

Why is tipping banned in Australian casinos?
Anti-Corruption and Fraud Prevention: The primary reason for the strict ban is to maintain the integrity of the games. Prohibiting tips prevents collusion, such as a dealer deliberately misdealing a hand, ignoring mistakes, or overpaying bets for a high-tipping player.
Higher Base Wages: Unlike the United States, where casino dealers often rely heavily on tips to make a living wage, Australian croupiers are compensated with much higher hourly base wages.

I think this kind of job could allow a person to travel. At the very least, if I were to work in this field, it would only be if I had the opportunity to travel and work at the same time.
 
It could be an interesting experience. The main advantages are meeting new people and earning tips, while the disadvantages include night shifts, stress, and working under pressure.
