In my last “Casino Poker for Beginners” article, I started introducing you to the various employees you’ll meet in a casino poker room — or, more accurately, the various roles you’ll see being performed by the employees, since tasks may be combined in all sorts of ways, depending on the size and staffing of the room.
Roles covered in the previous article included the brush, the cashier, chip runners, cocktail waitresses, the dealers, and the floor.
Let’s finish up that list:
Host/Hostess
This is the person (or people, in bigger rooms) assigned to greet customers, explain what games and stakes are available, manage the waiting list (either manually or electronically), answer the telephone, and so on.
