64321 Casino workers

What this occupation covers

Casino workers operate gaming tables, assist patrons using slot machines, accept keno wagers, pay out winning bets and jackpots and collect losing bets. They are employed by casinos.

Official main duties

The NOC profile lists 8 main duties for this code.

• Operate gaming tables and games such as roulette, blackjack, keno, baccarat and poker
• Monitor and assist patrons using slot machines
• Explain rules of games to patrons and ensure that rules are followed
• Accept keno wagers and issue computerized tickets for selection
• Determine winners or announce winning numbers
• Calculate and pay out winning bets and jackpots, collect losing bets and maintain related reports
• Replenish and reset slot machines
• May perform minor adjustments or repairs to slot machines.

Do not copy these lines into your reference letter. The letter has to describe what you actually did, in your employer’s words. DUTYPROOF flags wording lifted from the NOC as something to review, and an officer reading a letter that mirrors the NOC reads it the same way.

What DUTYPROOF screens for

This is DUTYPROOF’s screening threshold, not IRCC’s decision. For this NOC, screening requires at least 2 of its 8 official duties to be evidenced in your own words, plus the required letter elements. IRCC asks that you performed the actions in the occupation’s lead statement and a substantial number of its main duties — so treat the duty coverage as the number that matters, not the badge.

Codes this one is confused with

The NOC profile names these itself. Choosing the wrong code of a look-alike pair is the most common way genuine work experience fails to establish eligibility.
