Casino Manager vs. Pit Boss

A pit boss manages table games and dealers on the floor. A casino manager oversees the entire venue—including the pit boss—and is ultimately responsible for all operational aspects.

The casino manager plays a critical role in balancing guest satisfaction, regulatory compliance, and profitability. They keep the gaming floor secure, fair, and enjoyable for all.

A casino manager is the glue that holds the casino together—part strategist, part people-person, and always ready to keep the chips moving and players coming back.
