State-by-state comparisons reveal where casino dealers earn the most
States with the highest-paid casino dealers
Much like casinos themselves, casino dealing is, for many people, a job shrouded in mystery. Casino dealers are responsible for dealing cards, dropping the roulette ball, distributing dice, and monitoring the pot to ensure no one steals or cheats. To become a dealer, one must complete a casino dealing training course, which entails learning the intricacies and rules of each game, what local and state gambling laws are, and how to spot cheaters. Depending on state regulations, dealers may need to obtain a state or municipal license before they can begin working. Being a good dealer also means you need to be a people person, quick at math, and skilled at facilitating games.
But, much like other service industry jobs, dealers often receive a somewhat low base salary, and tips from players can make or break income. Hourly wages vary greatly among states and even among casinos, and tips can fluctuate drastically based on location or the whims of players. In San Francisco, for instance, dealers can take home $125,921 a year, which is 50% above the national average salary for a casino dealer
PokerListings explored casino dealer salary rates to determine which state has the highest-paid employees, using data from Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics report from May 2020. Only 33 states report employees of this category to the BLS. Three of them—Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—don’t report wages and were dropped from the analysis. The remaining states were analyzed based on the hourly mean wage as reported to the BLS. Employment numbers are estimates.

Other regional bills passed Wednesday
Other legislative bills by western Nebraska state senators passed on Wednesday’s next-to-last day of the 2022 session (vote totals in parentheses):
» Legislative Bill 805 (39-1), Venango Sen. Dan Hughes’ combination of three of his 2022 bills changing state laws on promoting wheat sales and controlling black-tailed prairie dogs and noxious weeds.
» LB 843 (45-0), an annual “cleanup” package of changes to state election laws. Sen. Tom Brewer of Gordon, chairman of the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee, sponsored the bill.
» LB 686 (40-5), a Hughes bill to adjust representation on the Legislature’s policy-making Executive Board in the wake of Unicameral redistricting in 2021.
Hughes, who is about to leave the Legislature due to term limits, has been Executive Board chairman the past two years.
