I'm an experienced craps dealer (can also deal blackjack) and am curious as to which casino is the best to work for in terms of which one(s) make the most money. If anyone happens to know please let me know, thanks!

There are numerous small casinos located in the puget sound area but the two largest are the Muckelshoot which is located in Auburn (south Seattle area) and the Tulalip which is located in Marysville (north Seattle area).

However the mackdaddy of them all is the new Snoqualmie Casino which is currently under contruction. Its the closest to Seattle and is 2-3 times the size of the Muckelshoot or the Tulalip.

I just found some more informations from their website:

FAQ - Casino Snoqualmie (http://www.casinosnoqualmie.com/faq.php - broken link)

You can sign up for updates as to when they'll be open.

Also, for the OP, at the bottom, it will give information on how to apply for a job.

thanks for the responses guys. I was doing some research on Casino Snoqualmie and ran across an article from the Seattle Times that kinda had me worried if I were to apply there. It's in the end of the article where it says this:

Mattson said the priority is to diversify the tribe's economic base and invest money into health care and housing. Unlike how other tribes with casinos operate, there will be no per-person disbursement for at least two years after the casino opens, he said.

Can anyone explain what exactly that bold part means? Is that suppose to affect employees of the casino in terms of pay? If anyone can clear that part up for me I'd appreciate it. Here's the link to the article to get a better understanding:

My assumption is that it pertains to the members of the tribe. I believe that most tribal casinos disburse profits to their members immediately. It appears that the Snoqualmie Tribe is going to establish a strong economic base and infrastructure before disbursing the profits to their members individually.

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the casino employees in terms of pay.

No, not really that far away from Seattle, Muhnay ...just a bit over 20 miles.

There are quite a few residential choices within 5-10 miles of the casino. Issaquah, Snoqualmie, Preston, and North Bend will all be within a short commute. This casino is not our in the middle of nowhere; I believe it can be seen from the interstate (I-90).
