value of experience in the casino and gaming industry.
While some positions are entry level others do require extensive
training and experience, particularly those that involve operating
gaming tables.
In the casino cover letter example below the applicant highlights his
interest as well as his
skill and experience; both
of which can give him an edge over other candidates. In addition, it is
important to mention specialties wherever appropriate.

Mr. George Clemmons
Lucky 7 Gaming Casino
2345 Stardust Ave.
Las Vegas, NV 55555
Dear Mr. Clemmons:
I am writing in regards to your advertisement for a gaming dealer in
the Las Vegas Daily Sun. I believe that my skills and experience could
greatly benefit your successful casino. I am a highly trained dealer
who enjoys the ever changing interaction with gaming clients. I have
been associated with the gaming industry for the last ten years in
various capacities. During the last five years I have specialized in
acting as a blackjack dealer; although I also have experience in poker.
May we meet in person to discuss your expectations of your gaming
dealers and how my skills and experience can benefit your team? I
believe that with my unique combination of skills and experience I
would be able to help move your casino from the #2 Preferred Casino
tothe #1 Preferred Casino in next year’s Las Vegas Live
journal. I would be happy to come by your office any day next week that
would work with your schedule. Please call 555-555-1212 to arrange an
appointment. I’m willing to bet the house we will make a
formidable team.
Sincerely,
Joshua Reynolds
Enclosure: Resume

Note in the above sample casino cover letter that the applicant keeps
the focus squarely on how his skills and experience can benefit the
employer. He also makes a mention of the
casino’s
ranking as a top preferred gaming casino in a recent
publication. This lets the employer know the applicant has done his
research, which can also provide him with an advantage over other
candidates.
The applicant then concludes the cover letter by asking for an
opportunity to meet with the employer in person. The last sentence uses
a bit of casino jargon to spur interest.
You are welcome to copy / use this sample casino cover letter for your
personal use only.
