Casino cashier to lottery cashier
A casino cashier already meets 84% of what the lottery cashier role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
15.8/ 100
1 How much of what a lottery cashier is expected to do is already part of a casino cashier’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the lottery cashier role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A lottery cashier role treats 11 of its required skills as things a casino cashier already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- apply numeracy skills
- carry out inventory control accuracy
- communicate with customers
- focus on service
- follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
- handle cash flow
What stands in the way is 2 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lottery cashier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a casino cashier background worth leading with.
- already held prevent money laundering in gambling assisting and caring
- already held exchange money for chips communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held focus on service assisting and caring
- already held communicate gambling rules communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held show good manners with players assisting and caring
- already held handle cash flow management skills
All 15 carried skills, including the 11 the lottery cashier role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 3 missing skills fall into 2 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.
- still to learn games rules required
- optional, not held lottery company policies optional
- still to learn follow company standards required

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
