If you just walk into a non-Indian casino verses an Indian casino, you would not notice any difference, in terms of setup or having that Indian vibe. Casinos caters to the masses and wants everyone to go to their casinos so they can make money. What is interesting about this Indian casinos, internally, is that they don’t get tax as much as a regular casino (non-Indian). In addition, they have slightly fewer regulation than a traditional casino. Because of this these Indian casinos are growing faster than its counterpart. What is also interesting is that California has more Indian casinos than any other states in the United States.
If you are interested in working for one, luckily for you, you got a chance because they also higher non-Indians. This means that you don’t need to be in a tribe to work for them. Casinos are huge and needs a lot of man power (including ladies) to operate.
If you are ever in Southern California, here are my 3 recommended casinos to visit.
