It temporarily suspended operations at all of its properties in mid-March after the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus a global pandemic and state gaming agencies ordered casinos to temporarily close.Įric Schippers Sr., a spokesman for Penn National Gaming, said that while it had been able to reopen some of its properties on a limited basis, “the continued social distancing requirements and uncertain business volumes means our properties will not be able to resume normal operations for the foreseeable future.” This is true of any security job, as there is very little room for advancement, and any weakness will be exploited, or invented, to give the other person - more.Penn National Gaming furloughed 26,000 employees in April at 41 gaming and racing properties across 19 states. In a casino, you make friends among your co-workers, and the customers, but you have to be careful in your relationships as they have a tendency to backfire on an employee if it comes to a promotion. I feel this is wrong, as you should be entitled to what you earn. I know a waitress who earned an average of $5,000 a shift in tips, and had to share it with others who didn't work as hard, or earn as much, as she did, and she had to take a lot less in her after distribution tip amount.

It can be unsafe for security, as they are the ones who have to deal with these elements. The customer may even resort to stealing people's wallets, tokens, or unattended credit tickets.

As there is always alcohol present, it can be unsafe for employees if a customer gets too intoxicated, because of the potential for various crimes to be committed.

You are dealing with all walks of society, and there are times when it becomes less than an ideal place to be. Argosy, now called Hollywood Casino, is a fun place to visit if you are a customer, but not a great place to be an employee.
