The pay wasn't the very best a dealer could make however the benefits and treatment by the tribe was nothing less than amazing. I was very fortunate to receive internal training for table games at a time when they had a structured, top-notch training team with dozens of years of experience from a variety of properties. With them I was able to learn a great deal about tribal and gaming as a whole as well as professionalism, integrity, and self improvement - lessons that still inform how I conduct myself to this day. When I joined they were reaching the peak of a meteoric rise in within the industry. It's been ten years since I left Barona Casino. Overall I had a good time and was pretty bummed I didn't get called back to return, due to my own faults of tardiness I would assume, but no grudges held and if given the opportunity would happily return.

I know a lot of co-workers that left for competitors due to not being able to secure a promotion at Barona, but I know it wasn't impossible they were just going to make you prove you really wanted it. As mentioned there's obvious nepotism and favoritism but I've never worked in a place there wasn't, didn't bother me personally since I liked my position just fine. A few different schedules to choose from so you could always request to move if desired through a waitlist. Table games was an overall good department since there were so many staff members it was pretty easy to switch with co-workers or request certain days off as needed, if the season/holidays permitted of course. I think any position you earn tips is worth working here such as servers, floor cashier, and table games dealer.

You're going to need thick skin for this position, and any position dealing face to face with players in general. Most were very nice and helpful and others were happy to make you feel dumb for asking a question. Thankfully they didn't have much power beyond occasionally embarrassing you in front of the players. **This review is based off the pre-covid environment for table games department**ĭepartment management was great but floor supervisors were all different.
