- No $1,500 sign-on bonus after 90-120 days for Bicycle Casino (unlike their other casinos) - Low pay for the Los Angeles area ($19/hour, $21/hour if you work 12 a.m. to 6 a.m.). For their San Jose locations, it's $22-24/hour, which is what the pay actually should be for L.A. For the amount of mental work and memorization that you need to do, in addition to the pressure of the job, this isn't worth it for Los Angeles. Four to six weeks of training should tell you how intense the job will be. I got another job that pays a bit more with less pressure, only 1 day of training, and less responsibility. I'm sure that most of you can also find a job like that for at least $19/hr. - You can't get any tips, unlike the dealers. - No cell phones allowed in the casino, so if you need to have your cell phone on your person while working, stay away from this job. - Mental burnout a strong likelihood from constantly watching every little detail at the card table. You need 100% accuracy catching mistakes. - High trainee turnover rate - They don't tell you the exact shift times you'll be working. The job advertisement only says "Late swing and nights!" What's that mean? I wasn't told anything specific in the interview. All they said was "it depends on casino operations." You would think that they would communicate with the casino to know what shifts they need, right? Late swing and nights is not specific enough. Spell it out clearly in the initial advertisement!
