It's not that easy to get a $2500 casino shop for most people. They have 100's of unqualified applicants for some of those shops.
If I'm not mistaken don't you have to do a casino test shop before they'll give you a real shop? I know I did. Which is good, I found that while I did get a 10/10 on the test shop it wasn't something I particularly enjoyed. Well, about half of it I enjoyed, didn't enjoy the other half. So I never applied for a full shop. I might, in the future, just doesn't really fit what I'm doing right now.
I have no idea what needs to get done to get assigned. I'm eligible for all gaming, everywhere. I usually do the first shop for new clients for more than a couple of companies to help them land the contract. Sometimes, they don't get any acceptable applicants, so they will call and ask if I can do a shop. Basically, they get a bunch of new shoppers or lousy shoppers or shoppers who can't play table games or don't have the demographics or income to do these. Casinos are not easy shops. They require tons of observations. You need to be familiar with rules and behaviors at the tables. You need to be able to operate on very little sleep or broken up sleep over 2 to 3 days. You'd better be able to do all of this with a slight buzz, as you will be checking bars and drink servers. Just forget it if you don't drink. Don't waste my time. Best not to take on a job like this unless you are sure that you can complete it correctly. Being out $2500 is no joke.
I haven't done one in at least a year. It doesn't fit my schedule right now. Maybe again in the future?
