Numerous factors dictate how much a professional casino dealer earns, including years of experience, which card table game you specialise in dealing, the amount of tips you earn and how much, when and where you work. The best dealers have a strong level of communication and are able to speak to all kinds of people with ease. Emotions often run high on the casino floor and it can be an overwhelming environment with flashing lights, flowing alcohol and a diverse and loud range of players and spectators. To communicate clearly and directly, and with authority, is a golden skill.
