We need volunteers for our casino fundraiser on Thursday May 30 and Friday May 31, 2024 at the Century Casino (13103 Fort Rd NW). Once every two years we staff a casino for 2 days and raise around $75,000. By volunteering at this event, your 6-8 hour shift is equivalent to $2200, or about $315/hr! The funds raised from this event help keep our community league operating. Invite your favourite neighbour to sign up with you and enjoy a night of chip counting and conversation, along with a free meal and plenty of time to catch up with each other.
GENERAL MANAGER: Your cashiers' cage advisor(s) will explain your duties and assist and train you and your volunteers at the casino. Your count room advisor will provide the same support and training for your count room volunteers.
BANKER: You control the main Cash Cage floats of chips and cash. You are assisted directly by Cash Cage Advisor for all activities. Some administrative experience is helpful, but not essential.
CASHIER: You are assisted directly by Cash Cage Advisor for all activities. Cash-handling skills and being a little bit street-wise would be an asset! The cashier's job is challenging, and requires concentration and accuracy. You should not volunteer to be a cashier if you are colour-blind.
CHIP RUNNER: You are a courier (runner) for chip orders for the casino games. You are not usually too busy except at the opening and closing of the casino day. You will always be accompanied on your 'runs' to the games by a casino security guard or a manager.
COUNT ROOM SUPERVISOR: You work with the Count Room Advisor to keep records of the cash and chips in the count room. Some administrative skills are useful, and computer skills are very helpful.
COUNT ROOM STAFF: The Count Room Advisor trains and assists you in all activities. You should be good working with your hands.
No experience? No problem! A Casino Advisor will be on hand to guide you.
