Games that raise your pay

• Craps

  The hardest game to learn and the one that separates career dealers from break-ins. Crews are paid accordingly.

• Roulette

  Fast payouts in your head, on a layout covered in chips of five different colors.

• Baccarat and pai gow

  The high limit games, especially in Las Vegas. Big tokes, quiet rooms, serious players.

• Poker

  A different world: you deal the game but the house does not play, and you are tipped per pot.

• Dual rate

  Part dealer, part floor supervisor. The usual first step off the table and into management.
