Introduction To
Table Games Supervision
12 Chapter Index

​Like many of my peers, we learned supervision mostly by trial and error. I hope to create this resource for newly promoted dealers to help them succeed in their new roles as dual-rate and full time table game supervisors. This should also serve those who train dual-rate dealers in a live casino setting. It may make your job a little easier.

I don’t pretend that my level of supervisory experience or knowledge is very extensive. I do have something to offer and I am willing to research what I don’t know so that we can both learn together. I can’t say I know how things are done in all casinos. When reading this section you should know that I only speak of how things are done at the casinos where I have worked or how I have heard they are done at others. I can best serve you by explaining the theory of "Casino 101" and the reasons things are done as they are done as they are.

Table touch CMS computer rating systems are designed to provide floor operations staff with a fast and easy solution for entering player ratings, requests for chip fills and credits, table closers, and issuing customer comps and markers in real-time. Originally, we were going to link off to various software developers but decided instead to revert to paper primarily because of an e-mail I received from an experienced floor supervisor who while vacationing in the Boston area visiting family, he was encouraged to apply for employment which he did. The interviewer asked him if he knew hand held rating and how to pencil table game assignments. "Just in case our system goes down"

That was a great question. Do you? So, even though your casino has everything computerized, you owe it to yourself to at least read and comprehend the basics of hand held rating and table assignments. You will have an advantage over others who don't. Besides, we all agree that you should learn math before you use a calculator right? Plus....there are many casino operations still using paper. 

​Title 31? Not touching it. You'll get plenty of material on this subject at work.

​Many thanks to over 30 active and retired casino supervisors, pit, shift and table games managers for their advice in constructing this project coordinated by my good friend Dale Yeazel. May he rest in peace.
