63.1/ 100
1 How much of what a casino gaming manager is expected to do is already part of a gaming inspector’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 casino gaming manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A casino gaming manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a gaming inspector already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- casino game rules
- company policies
- follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
- perform multiple tasks at the same time
What stands in the way is 9 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A casino gaming manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gaming inspector background worth leading with.
- already held assertiveness generic programmes and qualifications
- already held maintain gaming equipment constructing
- already held casino game rules business, administration and law
- already held report gaming incidents information skills
- already held follow ethical code of conduct of gambling assisting and caring
- already held perform multiple tasks at the same time management skills
All 9 carried skills, including the 4 the casino gaming manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 14 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
