year or less to complete. Another popular option is an associate degree, which will be
more in-depth and take two years to complete.
Programs typically cover casino operations, gaming law, security, hospitality,
accounting and human resources.
While training is beneficial, experience is what matters most in this line of work. You’ll

Casino managers work on land, which may seem obvious, but also on water! They work
primarily in hotels but also on riverboats and cruise ships.

managers, should expect to see about 22,000 openings per year from 2021 to 2031,
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
States benefit from the tax revenues that casinos generate. As more states legalize
different forms of gambling, openings for casino managers and gaming managers are
likely to increase even more.

Successful gaming managers tend to share these traits:


 Excellent communication skills
 Excellent customer service skills
 Decisiveness
 Strong leadership abilities
 Good math skills (statistics, arithmetic)

Types of casino games


Table games
Table games are a staple in physical casinos and are now popular on online gambling platforms
too. These types of games, such as poker, roulette and baccarat, typically involve a dealer or
croupier and are played on a table layout. Here are some of the most well-known table games
you can find at a casino or gambling website.

Poker

Poker is a strategic card game that requires players to read their opponents, calculate odds, and
make informed decisions to hold the best possible hand of cards. It involves both luck and skill,
with the rules varying between the different types of games. Two of the most popular types of
poker, which you’ll likely have heard of, are Texas Hold’Em and Five-Card Draw.

Blackjack

Blackjack is another strategic card game. To win, your hand of cards must add up to more than
the dealers, without exceeding twenty-one (“busting”). Blackjack is simple to play and offers
better odds than other gambling games, so it is a favourite of many gamers.

Roulette

Roulette is a game of chance where you place a bet on where a small ball will land on a spinning
wheel. There are several variations of this game including French roulette, European roulette,
American roulette, multi-ball roulette and multi-wheel roulette, with the rules to win depending
on the type you play.

Craps

Craps is a fast-paced game where players place bets on the outcome of the roll of a pair of dice.
There are various betting options to choose from in this game, and players can either wager on or
against the shooter (the person rolling the dice).

Baccarat

Baccarat is a card game with straightforward rules and simple gameplay. Players have three
betting options - the player's hand, the banker's hand, or a tie. The player with the hand closest to
nine wins. Baccarat is accessible to any level of player but as it's popular with high rollers, it’s
often associated with glamour and high stakes.

Slots

Often seen in movies or TV shows set in Las Vegas, slot machines are one of the most widely
recognised casino games. They can also offer a substantial jackpot if you’re lucky enough to
win. There are several types of slots to choose from including the traditional three-wheel slots,
modern five-wheel video slots, progressive jackpot slots where the pot increases the more the
game is played, and mega-spin slots where you can play multiple games at once.

Speciality games
The term “speciality games” covers a wide range of options that offer an alternative to traditional
gambling and casino games. Those that fall under this umbrella usually require little skill and are
won on luck. Some of the best-known speciality games you can find in online casinos include:
Lottery

Entering a lottery involves purchasing tickets and choosing random numbers for a chance to win
jackpot prizes. Draws are held at specific times and players hope their numbers match the
winning combination. Some lotteries offer smaller payouts to those whose ticket have several
correct numbers.

Bingo

Bingo is a game of chance where players mark off numbers on a card as they are called out. To
win you must mark off all the numbers in a predetermined pattern. Bingo is generally seen as a
social game that can be enjoyed by communities or groups of people either in large halls or
online.
Scratch cards

Scratch cards, also called scratch-offs, are physical or virtual cards that have a set of symbols
that are covered. Players scratch the card to remove the covering and depending on the symbols
shown may win a jackpot or smaller prize.

Wheel of Fortune

To play Wheel of Fortune you simply spin a wheel and hope that the pointer lands on a prize.
When played in a casino, players will often need to place a bet on the pointer landing on a certain
letter or outcome in order to have a chance of winning.

Sic Bo

Sic Bo is a dice game originating from ancient China and means “big or small”. Players place
bets on the outcome of three dice rolls. It is a game of chance with various betting options
available.

Keno

Keno is a lottery-style game where players choose numbers from a predetermined range.
Random numbers are then drawn, and players win based on how many of their selected numbers
match the drawn numbers.

Other types of gambling


Sports betting
Sports betting involves placing bets on the outcome of sporting events. Popular with sports
enthusiasts, this type of gambling allows those partaking to make predictions and place wagers
on the performance of individual players or the results of games and tournaments.

This type of betting is popular as it puts sports fans’ knowledge and predictions to the test.
Football (soccer), rugby, basketball, baseball, American football, cricket and horse racing are
some of the sports most bet on around the world, but wagers can be made for almost any type of
sport.
Staying safe when gambling and
betting
As you’ve now discovered, the world of gambling and casino games is vast and diverse, with
something to suit every player.

totally separate from your bank account. Plus, you can easily withdraw your winnings to your
