Dealer Salary

[Slacker13]

A friend of mine runs a poker room in Florida, I sent him a few people I know who needed jobs so he put them thru a 6 week training program. The deal was that htere were 45+ people in the dealers school and they were only looking for 10 dealers so only the cream of the crop makes it. I know the average down here for dealers is approx $120 for a 6 hour shift and I've heard of one room where it's around $190-220 per shift.
The problem is that good dealers who are making money don't leave so there are usually very few job openings available, that's what I have seen here in Florida anyway.

A friend of mine used to deal at Caesers in Indiana and made about 25 an hour. I think it's gone up some now, this was about 2 or 3 years ago.

You'd think probably minimum wage all day, and then someone drops a grand on them at the end of the day.

How about a cheating dealer-player team can make?. What if such dealer is adept at dealing-seconds and other easy-to-perform-for-a-magician-sleight-of-hand-moves?.

i talked with a guy on party one night who said he was a dealer. he said he made about $70k a year. he also said it is really tough to get a job. you have to go through training classes, which you pay for upfront, and have flawless credit, and no arrests, etc. the bottom line is that you don't have to be einstein, but it isn't a cakewalk either.

just heard that Casino AZ has the dealers keep tips separate and pay taxes on all of them. Anyone know if this is true? The dealers supposedly got totally irate.
