Until the late 1960s was generally regarded the cliché of the dream professional croupier, who was regarded as a force exerted by men activity.

In earlier times it was common for people for these activities, regardless of their previous career in one of the time still had a few casino operations highly used and only after the passage of lower work - mostly as a Page in the gaming room, as a bouncer at the casino access, as assistant in the had made ​​accordingly their team skills to the test and their dealing with the target group of guests shaft - front desk or as a worker in the administrative area. Only then did their training period as conditioners for the games, provided in each house Croupierstellen were free.

Today, the activities of the dealer is no longer a dream job, which is due to the fact that the once glamorous guests shaft former Grand Casino has given the playing average citizen in everywhere installed casinos, whereby the exclusivity of the environment fell and in consequence, the earning potential for the dealers. In turn, the growing competition of public and private gambling operators in Europe opened today the budding croupier faster advancement opportunities. Female croupiers now make up a large share of the casino workforce.

Croupiers are paid according to an independent tariff system. You will receive the salaries paid only from the Troncgeldern the casino visitors. The Tronc consists exclusively of the voluntarily given by the guests share their profits (comparable to " tip "). This Tronc shall be paid only in part, to the employees of the casino than salaries.
