People who work in the casino industry are very similar to the people who play the games. Both players and employees come from different cultural and educational backgrounds. If you work in Las Vegas, Reno, or Atlantic City, chances are good that you’ll come across an international clientele with employees from almost every state in the Union. In the smaller gaming centers, such as those in Biloxi, Mississippi, or Laughlin, Nevada, most guests will come from the surrounding area
.
However, employees may have moved from several nearby states. The statistics on employees in the gaming industry have a much wider profile. Today, an equal number of men and women work in the industry, even in Las Vegas, where the first female dealers were only hired in 1972. Overall, however, there are still fewer female managers in the industry than male managers.
Other statistics are more difficult to measure, but certain demographic groups seem to be more interested in bright lights and quick action. Based on the resumes of 177 casino players in Zippia’s database, the average casino gaming employee stays at their job for one to two years. The most common race among casino gaming workers is white, accounting for 63.3% of all casino gaming workers. The most common degree for casino gaming workers is the bachelor’s degree, with 50% of casino
gaming workers earning this degree.
The average age of casino gaming workers is over 40 years, which corresponds to 61% of casino employees.
