CASINO DEALERS/ TABLE SUPERVISORS - compensation

[BloodyRed.07]

Hi anyone here who knows anyone working as casino dealers/ table supervisors (say... PAGCOR)

what usually is the compenstaion package for entry - levels? I am planning to make a career shift from a 3 year - IT job.

Please advise abt the compensation....:confused:

Thanks :)

[ron_pacman]

i have no idea kung magkano salary nila and compensation...pero alam ko yung tips ng players e hinahati nila sa lahat ng dealers so equal makukuha nyo lahat...

[Dacs]

I heard that they get quite a sum of money.

Exactly how much? I don't know :)

[eww14]

me nagsabi sakin 30K for a dealer, me training na kasama hindi ko lang alam kung totoo

[ron_pacman]

makapag dealer na nga lang...:) badtrip nagaral pa ako...:lol:

[DaNa8]

I have a college friend na pumasok as card dealer sa Casino Filipino in Tagaytay after our graduation. I think her starting salaray was around 20k and this was way back 2001.

[kuya_boogie]

yup, their salary could go up to 20k - 30k in a month.

maliit lang yung basic, yung malaki si the tip na hinahati hati.

[kuya_boogie]

makapag dealer na nga lang...:) badtrip nagaral pa ako...:lol:

kailangan din may degree para makapag apply as a table supervisor

strict nga sila sa transcript of records eh, meron kasi kuwento yung college classmate ko na nasa Pagcor meron daw sila nakasabay sa training nila na na dismiss nung last day of training kasi nalaman na falsified *** Transcript of Records nya.

Also you really need to be damned good in Math.

[eww14]

anong "SKILL" ba ang kailangan para i-consider ka nila pag nag apply ka?
Yup sabi nga sakin, prefered daw nila Engineering or Com. Science graduates, kailangan din daw mataas ang IQ at magaling sa probability

[phichihkuqa]

Paanong mag-apply?

[gleech]

hirap mag apply sa pagcor kailangan may backer ka dun.

[archgold]

I am an ex-casino dealer in Pagcor. I was amazed sa mga inquiries sa taas. Well let me give my views.

You cannot apply directly to the Corporate office for the position of table supervisor. Someone must back you up. So if you think you can get hired just by passing your resume, forget it.

They "rarely" post job vacancies on newspapers kaya good luck.

Yes, nasa 20 to 30K ang pwedeng matanggap ng isang casino dealer and inclusive with meals during your shift and tip na rin.

I have worked as a TS for more than a year din and the reason I left is personal -- akin na lang yon.

Masaya sa casino lalo na pag Christmas season dahil sa mga bonuses etc.

In an 8-hour shift, almost 2 hours ang breaktime mo.

Other than those I mentioned above, let me say here the not so positive side.

1. Work here is shifting, like in call centers, and it's toxic when you are at night shift. Dami tao siyempre at night and especially weekends. At the start of the shift, each TS is assigned to a particular table.

2. If you've never been a passive smoker all your life, you will be when you work in the casino. In CF-Pavilion where the ceiling of the gaming area is so low, you may think you're in the middle of a fog unlike the gaming area in Cebu. So trip mong lumanghap ng passive smoke 6 hours per shift, pasok ka dito.

3. If you are the type of person who desires to climb the corporate ladder of success, I don't think casino is the best place. Once you become a TS, the next level up is the assistant gaming area manager or AGAM. AGAMs are relatively fewer compared to the table supervisors and unless you are a very prolific table supervisors backed with a recommendation from Malacanang, forget being promoted as AGAM. Why? -- There are many Senior table supervisors ahead of you by years and years of experience, most of them have reached their 40s and 50s still working as a table supervisor.

4. Are you the person who is always up for a challenging work and career? If yes, being a card dealer is not the job for you. With the routine, repetitive nature of your work, it gets very robotic and mechanical as months and years go by. At first, when I was new at my work as a TS, it was really exciting for me. Everyday, I learn something new and the surroundings and the environment never fail to fascinate me. But I realized as time went by I felt stuck. If I worked in a call center company, I would have greater chances of being promoted to the top compared to the casino. It's not really worth your time.

5. Are you the person who loves to please and entertain people? Well you might enjoy being a casino dealer then. You love to please every caprice, whim, and idiosyncrasy of the gamblers? You might fit in here. As for me, no way. These gamblers suck! A brood of greedy people always ready to gamble on whatever money they have on their hand for the empty thrill of winning in the casino -- I dont want to say anymore.

6. I have met in this place some of the most ill-bred and ill-mannered people you could ever think of! Cmon what do you expect to find in a casino anyway? Of course there are few exceptions and oh my they are very few indeed. You like working with co-employees who are "balahura" and "*****" plus arrogant and know-it-all superiors? Apply in the casino.

Before I end let me just say this... If you are a person with talent and ambition in life, working here should not be an option for you. Dont waste your talent in exchange for a secure job and just a "decent" income. It's not worth it. Working abroad is still a better option.

There are many opportunities around now so unless you're so desperate of your situation, dont get in here, especially if you think that your personality would not fit in.

I can say that during the time I worked in the casino, I could never boast of it to any of my relatives or friends. It's one of my biggest regrets in life...so please dont it be one of yours too.

[archgold]

sana nasagot ko yung tanong nung threadstarter. God bless.

[bishop]

I agree with Archgold. If you have ambition in life, being a table supervisor in a casino is not the best option, nor is it one of the better ones.

[mihaila]

agree din ako especially about being a passive smoker, buti kung 8 hours lang ang shift mo...e minsan may 12 hour shift kami on weekends...but i don't regret working in the casino kasi hindi ako sa pagcor...sa cruise line ako...hehehe so it allowed me to travel a lot...after ko mag travel lumayas na ko sa casino...travel lang naman ang habol ko dun eh...

[hfuchil]

any posible backer here?

[clace]

archgold: thanks a lot for the infos. it really helps me think now if i'd pursue this or have my experience na lang in a hotel.

not that i got chickened out ha? because i've been in the car sales and call center industries, so believe me i've seen alot of bad attitudes from customers to co-workers. natakot lang ako dun sa 2nd hand smoking kasi it'll be even more hazardous to my health bec i'm also a smoker. so kung gusto ko pa ma-enjoy buhay ko, i should think twice. hehehe...

others, pls post more comments or infos re casino dealer in pagcor. will appreciate any.

[archgold]

Btw clace, my sister works in a 4-star or 5-star hotel (not really quite sure) as a room attendant. Because it is a high-end hotel in makati, most of the guests are well off so she gets tip every now and then. A guest even gave her a pair of shoes worth P6000 but she gave it to me! hehehe

I do honestly think that a career in hotel is a good choice especially if you are planning to work abroad where hotel workers are in demand. ;)

[clace]

archgold: oo nga. isa pa sabi may height requirement sila sa casino. i'm not sure if this is true. 5'2" lang kaya ako. sa hotel di ba may height requirement din?

ewan ko ba bakit dito sa pinas masyado mahigpit sa height and age requirement. sana katulad na lang tayo sa abroad where they don't discriminate your status. e di sana maraming applicants with potentials ang may trabaho.

my sister works in mariott hotel in vancouver, sabi nya doon daw walang height, age, marital status requirements. kahit highschool grad ka lang makakapasok ka as front desk or concierge. sa airline pwede ka flight attendant kahit hs grad. oh well...

[archgold]

clace: Dto kasi sa atin actually it's "who" you know that matters more lalo na sa mga jobs na mahirap pasukin like casino, etc. Pagkaalam ko may height requirement sa hotel pero minsan daw sabi ng kapatid ko formality lang yun especially if they badly need personnel.

Good luck sa job hunting mo. ;)

[lowelluk]

hi archgold, just curious, when did you join PAGCOR? I worked in CF-Pavilion quite sometime ago. I surely agree with your points. Those are clearly the reasons why I left the dealer job and continue the career I've started with before joining PAGCOR

[archgold]

Hi lowelluk!

I joined Pagcor in 2001 but I only got promoted as a TS in 2002. I worked in CF-Silahis.

Nung nakakailang buwan na ako sa casino as a TS, na-realize ko rin na hindi ko pala gusto yung culture sa loob. After all, I was really after the pay lang naman talaga. Nahirapan me personally makisama minsan sa mga co-workers ko and sa customers na rin as well. Feeling ko nga naging "tupperware" ako during those times na nandun ako sa casino. I always wear this mask na obviously hindi naman ako.

Professionally, I don't think na mag-go-grow ako dun. Daming mga senior TS dun na siguro nasa 40s and 50s na rin and you can imbibe yung attitude nila sa work. You know that they're just doing the work just for the sake of doing it na lang. Karamihan ata sa kanila mga frustrated AGAMS!!! hahaha!

[lowelluk]

Hi archgold

Good thing you decided to leave PAGCOR early. Naka 12-months lang ako including iyong training. I joined in 1989. Pareho tayo, I realized it is a dead-end job eventhough the salary and compensation are way above what I'll be earning pursuing my career. Pero, itinuloy ko pa rin ang pag-alis dahil I know na maaabot ko rin naman siguro iyong kinikita ko doon in the long run, which is true now. Also, I had bad experiencez with some of my co-workers kaya napadali lalo iyong decision ko na mag-resign. I met a friend who I used to work with as a TS way back 2 weekends ago dahil nag-ninong ako sa binyag ng anak niya (i forgot to mention that we are now in London, UK). He told me that I made a good decision to leave PAGCOR early dahil siya ay naka-10 years doon (nag-early retirement siya) tapos ang tagal din niyang walang trabaho afterwards and all the money na nakuha niya sa early retirement ay naubos din. I agree na marami sa mga TS doon ay frustrated AGAMS pero alam mo naman na palakasan rin para ma-promote. I can relate sa sinabi mo na "feeling mo na nagi kang tupperware" dahil ganong ganon rin ako noon. plastic na plastic talaga iyong pakikitungo mo sa mga tao sa casino. feeling ko nga nun ay para akong robot dahil lahat ay routine na lang ginagawa mo starting from pag-gising mo, then papasok ka to do card dealing and then iyong mga breaks and then uwi ka para matulog. wala na nga akong time na ma-enjoy iyong suweldo ko dahil 1 day lang ang bakasyon mo tapos nauubos lang iyon sa pagtulog lalo na't galing ka sa night shift. I regret rin na nag-work ako doon pero inisip ko rin na in a way, it helps to pave the way to a better career for me. i'm sure you can say that too. kasama talaga sa takbo ng buhay iyong mga ganyang experience which helps you a lot in your future endeavours.

[archgold]

Nice to know that you are stable na in your life jan sa UK. Maaaring di ko pa naaabot yung dating sinusuweldo ko jan but thankful na rin ako kasi wala na ako roon and I was able to experience other things outside of the gaming pit.

I can't blame those who are working there right now especially most of them are married and breadwinners. Ngayong nasa labas na ako, mas na-realize ko na if ever magstay ako don mag-i-stagnate ako and ma-de-deprive of a chance to grow and experience other things. Bottomline is hindi lang pala pera pera lang...there is something more.

Naalala ko non kapag 2 pm to 10 pm ang shift ko at bigayan ng sweldo, I would think of many alibis just to escape my other co-workers who would spend the night having "good time" and stuff like that. I know how to unwind rin but NOT the way they do it...feeling ko kasi "bad" influence yung mga kasama ko dun and I dont want to live life like the way they do.

Sorry sa makakabasa nito na nagwowork sa pagcor ha pero im just expressing my views.

There is life outside the casino. ;) Yun lang.

[lowelluk]

Well said. I don' t think you mean anything bad against our co-PAGCOR TS but I agree that the culture of having a "good time" during pay season seems to be unnerving. I do try to avoid those occassions as well as it does not really serve a good purpose on myself. At bow ako sa sinabi mo na "hindi lang pala pera pera lang". There are better things in this world than just money. You know, the one thing I appreciate most when I was working in PAGCOR is spending time with my family and friends and even just spending it with myself. Kasi, halos hindi mo na magawa iyon dahil sa work schedule mo. Marami ka ngang pera pero hindi mo rin ma-enjoy ang buhay mo to the fullest dahil wala ka nang time for that.

Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts on this. It is really nice to hear views from a person who's been in the same situation as mine and am glad to know that someone share the same views sa mine. Hindi pala ako nag-iisa. :)

[archgold]

Hi lowelluk!

Thanks for posting your comments here. I think we do share the same sentiments. ;) I don't mean anything bad against any Pagcorians. What I am sharing here basically are my own personal experiences and the culture that I experienced when I was still a Pagcor employee. Nakaka-relate din ako dun sa sinabi mo na kapag day-off, talagang sinusulit ko yon. Dahil may panggastos, I really go out somewhere para maenjoy ko naman yung pinaghirapan ko the whole week working!

But the sad thing is...kapag papasok na ulit I felt this sense of dread. I dont know but lately sa work ko noon whenever I went to work, I felt like dragging my body to work. And pagtuntong ko palang sa casino premises, natatakot na ako na baka something bad might happen like baka "sumalto" ako or maka-encounter ako ng rude customers or ma-assign ako sa VIP section which I hate coz minsan di ko matantiya yung VIP customer lalo na pag natatalo na.

And the gossiping! Grabe pala ang intrigahan among Pagcorians! I know this is something that happens in any office setting pero natatawa na lang ako kasi even those things na nangyayari sa ibang branches ng casino, nakakarating sa branch mo! Usually nangyayari to kapag wala pang customers sa area and you're chatting with each other! Grabe ang mga tsismis and classified informations na masasagap mo! hehehe

Lowelluk, mukhang tayo lang ata nagpopost dito. Might as well post your most amusing and not so amusing stories here...for old time's sake.

Ingat lagi. It's nice to know someone like you, which proves the fact that hindi lahat ng pagcorians are what we conceive them to be. I guess we are the exceptions.

I wonder if may nakabasa na nito na TS...la kasi nag-co-comment eh.

[lowelluk]

Hey archgold
Alam mo, nung sinabi mo na you felt this sense of dread everytime na papasok ka, feeling ko ako ikaw. Iyan din ang feeling ko noon. Tapos kung minsan ang hirap pa kapag ang nakasama mo sa mesa ay iyong mga oldtimers na kung mag-deal ay magulo, takaw salto. I remember, sumalto ako twice, the first time ay sa black jack. Nagbayad iyong partner and then she realized na talo pala iyong player at hindi niya nacollect iyong cards bago magbayaran. Bago lang kasi ako noon and then 10-6am pa ang shift ko, sa VIP pa. Buti na lang nandoon iyong GAM nung nangyari kaya nakita agad. Mabait naman iyong GAM pero syempre kailangan gumawa ng statement. Then my second salto ay nung magkaroon ng slot machine coin doon sa bet sa baccarat. Kasi nasingit siya in-between ng chips, eh hindi rin napansin ng bettor, buti na natalo siya kaya hindi ako namroblema sa pagbabayad pero statement na naman. I also remember na nagkamali once ako ng pagde-deal. Nakuha ko yata iyong card nung bettor dahil akala ko ay talo pero buti nagreklamo agad siya kaya naibalik, then sabay tingin sa CCTV kung sa akin nakatutok (makikita naman di ba iyong ilaw kung iyong camera ay nakatutok sa mesa mo). When I noticed na hindi sa akin nakatutok, hindi ko na inireport. Buti walang AGAM at saka iyong partner ko ay bago pa lang kaya wala siyang reklamo.
About rude customers, ang dami ko nang insidente doon. Kaya nga ba, kapag natatalo ang kustomer ay dapat bola-bolahin ng hindi naman masyadong uminit ang ulo. Nabatukan na ako ni Akok (a chinese lady na big time bettor na madalas sa casino). Tapos mayroon naman na pinunit iyong baraha nung natalo siya tapos binato sa akin. Alam mo, iyong feeling ko nun, it is a humiliating experience. Kasi parang ang tingin sa iyon nung mga customers ay ang baba, di ba? Sabi ko nga, graduate ka nga ng college pero kung ituring ka naman ng mga taong iyon ay para ka lang utusan. Iyong iba pa, kung makautos (like asking for ashtray or anything) eh sobrang yabang as in utusan ka nila.
About gossipping at intriga, super dami talaga. I tried na lang to block it dahil pati ako kung minsan naaapektuhan. Syempre di ba mayroon tayong mga colleagues na bastos rin. Kahit gusto mo mang magpakatino, kaso iyong mga nasa paligid mo ay hindi, apektado ka rin. Actually, another reason rin kaya ako nag-resign ay dahil may nakabangga akong katrabaho (nothing physical naman na nangyari) pero mahirap magtrabaho kapag hindi mo kasundo ang katrabaho mo. In a way, nakatulong rin sa akin to pursue my career rather than stay there for good. Pero alam mo tutuo iyong sinabi mo na iyong mga nangyayari sa ibang branch ay nakakarating sa branch mo. Intertwined kasi ang buhay ng mga tao sa PAGCOR, dahil may mga na-assign na sa ibang branch at may kakilala o ka-batch mate ka sa ibang branch kaya ganon.
Alam mo, maganda ring i-reminisce iyong mga nangyari sa akin sa PAGCOR. Hindi naman lahat ay masama kung tutuusin, may magaganda rin akong experience, lalo na during the training saka iyong first few months.
Just curious, bale nasaan ka nang field of work ngayon? I'm sure you feel much better where you are working now. Ang pag-aasenso naman nasasatao, kahit saan ka man mapuntang trabaho or saan ka mang lugar mapadpad, kapag dala mo iyong work ethics mo, papalarin ka. Kailangan nga lang ay tiyaga.

[archgold]

Hi lowelluk!

Thanks sa mahaba mong reply!

Basically lahat ng nabanggit mo familiar sa akin. Syempre very memorable ang unang salang ko. 10 to 6 din ako nun. 3 beses ata ako sumalto that night! hehehe

Eto ngayon ko lang i-she-share...I think may mga nagawa me na salto, na medyo mabigat, na hindi na-ireport ng CCTV! Grabe ang kaba ko nun. Ganito ata yun. Nasa semi-vip room ako noon sa baccarat table. Nasa banker side lahat ng bettors tapos ako siyempre yung player. And then tinurn up ko yung "banker wins" so I paid lahat ng players. Nung kinokolekta ko na yung cards, player wins pala! Hala! sa loob loob ko patay ako nito. Sobrang takot ko non. At ang mga bettors naman di kumikibo palibhasa binabayaran sila. Grabe ang dishonesty. Oh well hindi ko na siyempre nireport sa AGAM kasi ang lalaki ng mga taya na nabayaran ko and laking sakit ng ulo yon pag nagkataon.

The day passed without the CCTV calling the attention of our area AGAM. Haaay...what a relief! Grabe talaga ang experience na yon.

And then one time pa I was handling these live and dead chips. Talo yung player but I ended up paying him. It was an honest mistake though and buti na lang di na nareport. May nabalitaan nga ako na may isang dealer dati na ganito yung salto niya and hindi na narecover yung overpayment na nagawa niya. Natural nasuspend siya and she ended up paying that herself!!!

Na-realize ko rin na baka hindi talaga me para dito sa work na ito. Totoo rin yung sinabi mo about rude customers. I had one in the semi-vip area. Tinarayan ata ako dun ng isang customer for no apparent reason. Sa loob loob ko, porke malaki ang tinataya nito may "k" na ba siya na magtaray? I felt that humiliation that you were talking about too. There are many more stories like this. May mga tao ring di ko naging kapalagayang loob while in the casino and you're right...mahirap magwork sa ganung situation and sa mga taong ibang iba ang takbo ng paguugali sa iyo. Ewan ko ba pero madalas ko kasi hinahanap yung ugali ko sa iba. May pagka-judgmental din kasi ako. I easily form opinions and impressions of persons that I meet based on how they look, the manner that they speak, etc.

I am almost 3 years out of the casino and yung mga naging ka-batch ko nung training don I have no communication na whatsoever. Parang Im this person looking at them from a distance.

Right now I am a freelance medical transcriptionist. At least nagagamit ko rin yung pinagaralan ko and definitely I can do other things pa not unlike when I was in pagcor.

You're in UK na right? What is your work there? Kumusta naman ang buhay jan?

[tigerfear07]

sana nasagot ko yung tanong nung threadstarter. God bless.

to archgold & lowelluk, tnx for that info at last i hev an ideas on such position in the casinos. By the way to have again a background mga how much naman po possible salary ng isang AGAM??? Many thanks....:)

[archgold]

For AGAM, siguro nasa 40K++ Hay naku bago ka maging AGAM dapat malakas ang koneksyon mo at siyempre dapat magaling ka. When I was still working there, may naabutan me na mga AGAM na medyo bata pa but I can say that they are "competent". If di ka naman masyadong kagalingan, aba dapat malakas lakas ang backer mo and dapat medyo senior ka na kasi nakakahiya naman di ba? hehe.

I hope I answered your query.

Pero nakakapagliv sya ng almost 2weeks straight ganun din po ba ka galante ang rules ng paglileave or suitable lang sa may mga higher position? :)

[lowelluk]

hi archgold, sorry ngayon lang ulit ako nakapaglog-in sa forum. i was on a holiday sa US for 2 weeks tapos pagbalik ko eh ang daming trabaho. oks naman dito sa London, I am a civil/structural engineer working with an engineering consultancy firm. bale 13 years na rin ako with the company moving from one country to another. I started in the philippines tapos kl malaysia, then bangkok, then london, tapos sa New York and now back in london. kaya wala akong regrets sa pag-alis ko sa pagcor dahil i built up my career after leaving the casino. i have plans to move again pero malamang next year na, baka australia naman. malapit lapit sa pinas kaya madali daling umuwi sa atin at mas mura ang pamasahe. hope na oks ka rin diyan sa trabaho. next time na lang ulit. ingat na lang.

[QuEen_B]

Hello people!! :wave:

I go to CF-Pavillion once or twice a month. My fav game is Paigow. hahahaha.... Wala lang kasi it's the only game na matagal laruin and di mabilis maubos pera mo... Anyways, when I'm in the casino I just bring 2-3k max. I win good! I loose I go home... :)

[PingGarcia]

When ka usually there? What day? What time of the day?

Kasi sa Paigow, usually, the regular players know each other na, parang sa BlackJack din


hehehe

[astigto]

Im so happy to see a thread about being a TS here in pex. I myself was a casino dealer for 5 years. I resigned in 1999. I totally agree dun sa mga sinabi ni archgold. Parang dead end career anng pagiging dealer. I was hired on 1994. That time, di pa masyado garapal ang palakasan for you to be hired. Nag mass hiring sila nun para sa opening ng CF heritage. Marami akong kasama sa training na mga walk in applicants lang. What was important then was that maipasa mo yung mga exams at yung panel interview.
At iba ang culture sa loob ng casino. There are things that you cant even imagine na nagagawa pala ng mga taong may pinag aralan. From the costumers to the bosses, to your co-workers. Parang nagiiba na ang pagkatao nila pag nasa loob na ng casino.
If your a new grad ***** mas ok kung mag stick ka na lang sa field mo. kasi when the time comes and you realize that you want to go back in your field, wala nang tatangap sa ** kasi nga hindi na related yung work experience mo. Isa pang gusto kong iemphasize is that iba ang management style dun. Hawak ka palagi sa leeg ng management. Lagi kang may takot na madestino ka, o guluhin yung shift assignment mo kung may makabangga kang ng amo dun. You get good benefits (daw) pero araw araw ipamumukha sa iyo that you're nothing without pagcor. To think of it, maliit lang ang sweldo na galing mismo sa company. lumalaki lang dahil sa tip. When i left, ang basic lang namin was Php 4900. right after i left, they went up to Php8000 yata. And i think its still Php8000 upto now. abuting ka lang ng 30,000 to 40,000 dahil sa tip. Its a good paying job pero in the long run, its not worth it. Hindi ito ang career that one would want to grow old with.
I'm so thankful that inspite of being there for so long, i was still given the chance to make a career shift. I'm so happy where im at right now. I still have contacts with my former colleagues and i constantly encourage them to move on. Mas tumatagal ka sa loob, mas mahirap nang lumabas.
