Casino Personnel

[Sonny]

From what I understand, there are usually several types of people you might find in the pit area (pit bosses, floormen, shift managers, etc.). Whenever I look into the pit I always see 2-3 people who all look like pit bosses to me. Sometimes they are behind a dealer watching a table, talking to a plyer, or standing in front of their little podium with their arm crossed. Most of the time they are just standing around.

My question is this: How do you tell who is doing what? What's the difference between a pit boss and a floorman? (It sounds like the beginning of a joke, doesn't it?). Should I even be worried if a shift manager is hanging around?

Just wondering...

It would be great if...

It would be great if one of the lurking casino insiders here could post a response. Gentlemen?

Response from CCCafe

Here's a response I got from the Card Counter's Cafe:

In general (very):
Pit Boss: Oversees the pit area,assures games run orderly, supervisors the
operation of the games, mediates disputes, supervisors open/close of tables.

Floor Person: Usually still a labor as opposed to mgmnt. employee who may
deal one day and oversee the table games the next. Doesn't do much more in
the management end of things.

Shift Managers are pretty much pit bosses(aka managers) with slot shift
managers a bit more burdened.

Director of Table Games is a bigger honcho than those listed above, but also
must answer to the Casino Manager. There are a few other lateral or so
positions like Hard Count Attendant, Credit Manager, Credit Clerk etc.

IMO A boxperson is the most likely to be a miserable SOB of them all!!

Wow and a short definition could be as follows: a constant pain in the ass paranoid schizo's who guard the greed of the casinos.
