Just a hint for those looking for employment in the gaming industry...
Do not apply at the akwesasne mohawk casino!
Not only dose the gamming license take about 5 -6 months but if your hired as a dealer, prepare for unfair working conditions and wages. What was once a family orintated business where "your needs come first" has now deminished to a ".. Stay home only if your on your death bed.."
The 'local' natives are trying to run the joint, and when things go wrong they plea 'sovern immunity' to bail themselves out. The casino has only been opened for two years and has since seen a General Manager to actually work a full years worth. And you know somethings up when you have your top people (such as Shift Bosses, upper managment directors and various supervisors) all pack up and leave for different casinos.
This place is so cheap, that a player is considered a 'high roller' if they bet more than $100. I know of other casinos that wait till you start playing $1000 before you get noticed, but here... Forget it. They don't want you to win a dime.
And the slot machines! What a joke these things are. You might as well download a bingo game off yahoo if you wnat bingo style action. The casino's slot machines are hard to use and not very convient. These slots, called Viedo Lottery Terminals, are mostly a touch-screen interactive game. They ONLY accept paper money and print out ALL winnings. Even if you win 50 cents, you have to get a ticket and redeem this AT THE CAGE. You cannot use the ticket in another machine.
There is NO HOTEL, yet this casino is located smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Who wants to travel 10 miles to stay in MOTEL that has farm country air blowing in the window in the morning.
The list goes on, but if the Mohawks think they can open the worlds next biggest casino located down in the Catskills, they better think of just sitting under the teepee and let the pros manage the house.
