EXPOSED
This catch-all bucket covers casino floor attendants, keno and bingo staff, sports book writers, and slot/kiosk support — people who take wagers, verify and pay out tickets, watch patrons, and keep games running on a physical floor. Language AI barely touches the job, but the tasks are being eaten from a different direction: self-service betting kiosks, mobile sportsbooks, electronic table games, and ticket-in/ticket-out slots already absorb the wager-taking and payout work that once needed a human. What survives is the embodied floor presence — verifying age and identity, resolving disputed hands and payouts, spotting intoxicated or self-excluded patrons, and being the licensed human the gaming board holds responsible.
Mixed — a routine tier and a judgment tier. Writing keno tickets, taking sports wagers, and paying out jackpots are already done by kiosks and mobile apps, but hand-pay verification on a jammed slot, escorting a self-excluded patron off the floor, and calling a bingo session in a room of 300 people still need a body on the carpet — hence 11 rather than a low score, and not higher because the transaction half of the job has a working machine substitute today.
Hands-on in uncontrolled environments. You are on your feet for a full shift walking a floor with fixed-position machines, opening bill validators and hoppers, carrying cash cassettes and hand-pay envelopes, and physically intervening with intoxicated or arguing patrons — uncontrolled in the sense that the people are unpredictable, though the venue itself is climate-controlled and mapped, which keeps it at 13 instead of the 17-plus of outdoor or industrial work.
Certification preferred, not legally required. Most states require a gaming board work permit or non-key employee licence with fingerprinting and background check, and it can be revoked for a payout error or an underage wager — but that badge is a right-to-work clearance, not a professional credential with independent legal exposure like a dealer-supervisor or key licensee, so it sits at 8.
Some relationship component. Regulars know the bingo caller and the sportsbook writer by name and will wait in a longer line for the one who does not fumble their parlay, but the wager itself pays the same regardless of who wrote it, which keeps this at 8 rather than in the range where a client follows you to another property.
Executes defined procedures on defined inputs. Payout thresholds, W-2G triggers, ID-check ages, and dispute-escalation rules are all written into the property's internal controls filed with the gaming commission, and anything genuinely ambiguous — a contested hand, a suspected advantage player, a machine malfunction claim — goes to a supervisor or surveillance rather than you, putting real but bounded discretion at 6.
