It's always nice to have money, glad you're going to get paid now. Also glad you had somewhere for free meals.

Sorry your not feeling well though, hope you get better really soon.

Thanks for the well wishes :) I think the worst is over, I feel much better today. There's still a discomfort in my throat but not the raging sandpaper-fire that was yesterday!

Out of curiousity, how much do they pay croupiers? It's never looked like an easy job to me.

Hmm it changes depending on how long you've been there, whether you're working nightshift/dayshift or weekends... probationary salary is $15.15/hr (for 3 months), then base salary is $19/hr. Time and a half on saturday, double on sunday, double for overtime, and double and a half on public holidays.

I was talking to one of the guys from the academy before mine and he said he's raking in about $2000/fortnight on probationary salary because he's doing lots of night shift, overtime and weekend work.

What are you doing these days btw? I haven't seen you (and just about everyone else) in ages!

Hmmm. I'd have expected it to be a little higher, with the speed of mental arithmetic you guys need to do - it's not a job they can just pull anyone in off the street to do!

... not to mention the huge margins the casino draws in. The penalty rates are nice though.

I'm still working at iiNet for the time being. Got a couple of things planned there on the horizon - and if they work out, great. If not, I'll probably be looking for employment at a smaller company.

Once you've been working there for a while your base salary goes up, I've forgotten the exact figures though. I think inspectors (one up from croupier) get about $80K and a Pit Boss (one up from inspector) gets about $120K :o

Career anyone?

Haha! What was her name / description? There are a few cute croupier girlies around the place.
