While less and less people are becoming croupiers these days it really is a job you can enjoy. If you think its a dying job because of the rise of online casinos you are not seeing the bigger picture. Today we look at ten great reasons for becoming a casino croupier and just a few ‘perks’ of the job…

Ten Reasons Becoming a Casino Croupier Is a Great Career Choice

10 – Being Social

Do you have the talent of being able to build up an instant rapport with people? Just because you are in the casino to do a job, doesn’t mean you can’t lightly chat with the players and make new friends, many croupiers often become best friends with the people who play on their tables.

9 – Future Proof

This might sound like a strange thing to say but look at the rise of online poker and roulette sites that use a live, real croupier to work the room. Just because you are not hosted in a real casino doesn’t mean your job is in danger.

8 – Holiday

People that go on to become professional croupiers often get invited to take part in events all over the world! If your good with your customers as well as your service you will soon start to see the benefits.

7 – Food and Board

Working as a croupier can sometimes mean being away from where you live which also means you could be boarding in a hotel next to the casino and that would also mean free meals from the some of the nice restaurants near-by. Sounds like a good perk to me.

6 – The Excitement

At the end of the day, people don’t lose money all day, every day and there will be times when the table you are working at is alive with excitement, especially with games like craps and roulette. It’s those days that will make the job worthwhile.

5 – Staying Gambling Free

While most casino croupiers are in fact banned from gambling if ever there was a job that might put you off doing so it has to be working as a croupier and seeing people lose more than they can afford too. Its not just that, getting a better understanding of the odds of winning will also do the same thing.

4 – Helping people

Some people visit casinos not just to have a little gamble, but also to get away from it all and even unload their troubles onto someone else’s ears. Polite, gentle conversation can often make the player more relaxed and ready to face their own problems head-on. It’s not just a matter of dealing the cards out to the players, it about dealing out the good advice to those who ask for it.

3 – Learning from the Pros

If you love poker yourself and regular play online you will soon learn some tips from the professional players that you can implement yourself. While you might not want to gamble with real money after seeing people do so all day, you might learn some tricks to whipping your friends at the Saturday poker night at their home.

2 – Dating

While the number of croupiers who date or marry someone who is a player is nonexistent it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen and as you might well imagine its pretty inevitable that some croupiers will indeed do just that. But you might want to check with your company rule book because some casinos frown upon such behaviour.

1 – Tips

The number one reason a lot of people become a croupier is for the tips. At the bigger poker tables and the high-roller tables, croupiers have been known to be tipped thousands of dollars just for doing their jobs. While it is unlikely you will ever receive tips that big you will indeed get some.
