Job description

Company Description

Get paid to host live casino games on camera — no casino experience needed, paid training included.

Why This Shift Is Different

This is not a morning call or a closing-time scramble. The 5pm–1am swing shift is one of our busiest and most energetic windows — peak player traffic, high engagement, and a studio that's fully alive.

You'll work in a modern studio environment in Kentwood/SE Grand Rapids, hosting live casino games on camera for online players statewide.

You'll receive paid training, steady full-time hours, paid breaks, benefits, 401(k) match, career growth opportunities, and compensation that includes a guaranteed tip floor, with additional tips that may increase total earnings.

If you're someone who hits their stride in the evening and thrives when the energy is high — this shift was built for you.

Job Description

What You'll Actually Do

  • Host live casino games like Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, and game show-style games on camera
  • Welcome players, explain game rules, announce winners, and keep the game moving
  • Keep the experience fun, upbeat, professional, and entertainment-focused
  • Use your personality and service skills to create a great player experience

  • Servers and bartenders
  • Restaurant and hospitality workers
  • Retail and customer service workers
  • Performers or entertainers
  • Security or venue staff
  • Anyone who does their best work after 5pm

No casino experience required. We will train you.

This Shift: 5pm–1am

  • Full-time, consistent schedule
  • Peak hours — high player volume and engagement
  • No early alarms, no lunch rushes
  • A structured studio environment that fits the evening lifestyle

We Offer:

  • From $17/hr including guaranteed tip floor, plus uncapped tips
  • Paid training
  • Full-time hours
  • Paid breaks
  • PTO
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) match
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Modern studio environment
