Blackjack players and those people looking to be involved in the casino industry will be excited to know that the Hollywood Slots Casino based in Maine is hiring dealers, which not only means that there are better paying job opportunities but also that the blackjack tables in that casino are doing well.
Just like the casinos in Pennsylvania, where casino owners are looking to hire good blackjack dealers, the Hollywood Slots casino is looking to improve its casino staff. This Bangor casino will be hosting a fair for blackjack dealers and other job opportunities in the casino over the weekend. Those interested in securing jobs as blackjack dealers and croupiers are advised to try their luck here. The event will take place at the Eastern Maine Community College and people looking to be dealers should go and register.
At the job fair, potential blackjack dealers can find information about the various job opportunities that will soon be available as the casino expands. In addition to blackjack dealers, the casino is looking for basic dealers and table game supervisors for games like craps and poker.
By spring, the Hollywood Slots Casino will have added 14 more table games to its offerings which should create 89 new jobs.

Training, auditions and employment are different steps
Dealer-training reports show how casinos and colleges prepared people for table-game work. Keep the course, audition and employment offer distinct. Tuition figures, timetables and recruitment targets belong to the original story and do not describe a course or vacancy currently open for applications.
- Training
- Identify the games, course length and fees actually reported.
- Selection
- Look for auditions or other steps between training and hiring.
- Employment
- Distinguish an individual outcome from an employer’s recruitment plans.
Does completing a course always guarantee a casino job?
The report must say what was offered. Training, auditions and hiring are separate steps; do not turn a historical recruitment target into a general employment promise.
