I got hired there but never worked.
Parking will be street parking but its not bad because your friend will be doing graveyard shifts. And there should be some spots around.
Working at a casino is a pretty easy job and if your friend is a dealer, they get breaks every hour or 45mins.

you have to be really smart in math right? or do they teach you a method of some sort on how to calculate correctly?

i worked there for a year it's not bad of a job really easy for the amount you get paid but eventually the job just statrts to give you a headache with the constant bitching of people who losing. the good thing is that you get a break once an hr for 15 minutes so it's not that bad. parking still sucks especially on event nights because pacific blvd is shutdown to parking.

from when i worked at the rock, they had a group interview with basic questions and math questions and what not, and from there depending on how you do they go set up a face to face interview. basic questions like why you're good for this job. what you can do for them and so forth

at edgewater you start off by making 950 at level one which is blackjack, three/four card poker, Caribbean stud. and then level two i think you get a dollar raise or mayb 1.50 which is bacarrat and paigow. level three is roulette. poker is a premium game which you get a dollar for every hour dealt, same goes with craps. most of the money comes from tips

when i had interviewed for gateway casinos & entertainment, it was with HR first, then with someone in the department. Now, they do a panel interview with HR and Manager of dept you are applying for.

If you know the history of edgewater.. it's combination of BlueBoy+royal diamonds. Royal diamonds shut down the door thanks to dumb ass Union.
