Bonuses and 401K match programs are second only to medical benefits. Many casinos are part of very large corporations, and they offer excellent benefits. Fees for dealing schools typically run $500 to learn blackjack and slightly more for complicated games like craps and roulette. Other properties hire experienced dealers and/or those who have successfully graduated from a dealing school. Some casinos offer in-house training to existing employees for dealer positions. As little as two weeks of training may be all that is required. That's a pretty good starting pay, right? The average dealing job at a small casino only pays half that much, but many do pay more than $25 per hour.

Dealers can make as much as $100,000 per year.
