This score reflects estimated AI technical capability for tasks in this occupation. It does not predict employment changes, and it does not account for company-specific constraints, regulation, or adoption barriers.
Compare the house hand with players' hands to determine the winner.
AI: Fully automatable - AI can unambiguously compare hands and determine winners given card data or reliable camera/vision input and rule encoding.
Start gaming equipment that randomly selects numbered balls and announce winning numbers and colors.
AI: Fully automatable - AI can start integrated random-ball selection equipment and announce winning numbers and colors via system control and text-to-speech in fully automated setups.
Inspect cards or equipment to be used in games to ensure they are in proper condition.
AI: Fully automatable - Computer vision systems can inspect cards and equipment for visible damage or defects under controlled conditions and reliably flag items needing replacement.
Record the number of tickets cashed and the amount paid out after each race or event.
AI: Fully automatable - Recording ticket counts and payout amounts is structured data capture and entry that OCR and transaction automation can perform reliably.
Answer questions about game rules or casino policies.
AI: Fully automatable - AI can reliably answer questions about game rules and standard casino policies when provided the relevant documentation or trained on common rulesets.
Prepare collection reports for submission to supervisors.
AI: Fully automatable - Preparing collection reports is a data aggregation and document‑generation task that can be fully automated by AI from transactional records.
Conduct gambling tables or games, such as dice, roulette, cards, or keno, and ensure that game rules are followed.
AI: Partial - AI can enforce rules in digital/automated systems and assist human dealers but cannot fully perform the physical and social tasks of conducting live table games on its own.
Operate games in which players bet that a ball will come to rest in a particular slot on a rotating wheel, performing actions such as spinning the wheel and releasing the ball.
AI: Partial - AI can control robotic or automated roulette hardware where installed but cannot generally perform the physical spinning and ball release in traditional live casinos without specialized actuators and regulatory approval.
Exchange paper currency for playing chips or coins.
AI: Partial - AI can calculate correct chip exchanges and detect fraud patterns but cannot physically accept paper currency and hand out chips in person.
Seat patrons at gaming tables.
AI: Partial - AI can optimize seating assignments, check availability, and provide directions but cannot physically escort or seat patrons and manage in-person interactions fully.
Open or close cash floats or game tables.
AI: Partial - AI can assist with procedures, reconciliation, and audit logs for opening/closing floats or tables but cannot perform the physical security and signing actions required in most venues.
Pay off or move bets as established by game rules and procedures.
AI: Partial - AI can compute and command payouts or bet movements in integrated electronic systems but cannot physically pay off or move chips on traditional tables without mechanization.
Collect bets in the form of cash or chips, verifying and recording amounts.
AI: Partial - Verification and recording of bets can be automated with scanners and electronic systems, but the physical collection of cash or chips in many live contexts remains partly manual.
Check to ensure that all players have placed their bets before play begins.
AI: Partial - AI can monitor electronic bets and use computer vision to detect whether players appear to have placed bets, but it cannot reliably ensure every physical cash bet at a live table without human involvement.
Collect cards or tickets from players.
AI: Partial - Ticket/card collection can be mechanized and ticket-scanning technology exists, but physical collection and handling edge cases in live settings often require human involvement.
Compute and verify amounts won or lost, paying out winnings or referring patrons to workers, such as gaming cashiers, so that winnings can be collected.
AI: Partial - AI can accurately compute and verify payouts given digital inputs but cannot physically disburse cash, so it can only partially automate this workflow.
Take the house percentage from each pot.
AI: Partial - AI can calculate and automatically deduct the house percentage in digital or electronic systems, but cannot physically remove cash from live pots without human staff or specialized robots.
Participate in games for gambling establishments to provide the minimum complement of players at a table.
AI: Partial - AI agents can participate as virtual/online players, but they cannot physically occupy human seats or meet regulatory and social requirements to act as in‑person players at a live table.
Sell food, beverages, or tobacco to players.
AI: Partial - Automated kiosks and POS with ID scanning can sell food, beverages, and in some cases age‑restricted items, but regulatory, social, and service aspects limit full automation in many venues.
Supervise staff and games and mediate disputes.
AI: Partial - AI can monitor staff and games, flag issues, and suggest dispute resolutions, but it cannot fully assume the nuanced supervisory authority and in‑person conflict mediation required in live settings.
Push dice to shooters and retrieve thrown dice.
AI: Not automatable - Pushing dice to shooters and retrieving thrown dice is a dexterous, real‑world manipulation task on crowded floors that AI/robotics are not widely capable of performing or deployed for in 2025.
Deliver tickets, cards, and money to bingo callers.
AI: Not automatable - Delivering physical tickets, cards, and money to bingo callers is a manual delivery task for which there are no widely deployed autonomous solutions in casino environments as of 2025.
